Methodology, plainly

Five lenses.
One ranking canvas.

The tracker does not try to predict a target price. It applies several distinct investing philosophies to the same stock universe, ranks the measurable traits, and makes the trade-offs visible.

82.5
A score is a relative screen rank, not an 82.5% chance of success. Higher means the stock currently matches that screener's rules more strongly than its eligible peers. Scores from different tabs are useful signals, but they are not directly interchangeable forecasts.

The screening lenses

Most metrics are converted to percentile ranks across the current eligible universe. Pillar weights then form a 0-100 score; missing pillars are excluded from the denominator and reflected in the confidence field.

Contrarian value

Roaring Kitty

Looks for neglected, beaten-down companies where cheapness and crowding meet enough financial resilience to keep the thesis alive.

Value 35%Health 25%Sentiment 25%Quality 15%

Guardrails cap distressed names at 60 and subtract 15 points when two-year share growth reaches 30%. Non-positive valuation multiples are treated as unavailable, not as unusually cheap.

Breakout momentum

Kulamägi

Looks for strong multi-horizon returns, tight price structure near the 52-week high, improving fundamentals, and tradeable liquidity.

Momentum 40%Structure 35%Quality 15%Liquidity 10%

Requires at least $20M in estimated average daily dollar volume. Partial data remains visible with reduced confidence.

Fundamental deep value

Burry

Favors profitable, capital-efficient, conservatively financed companies whose earnings and book-value multiples remain unglamorous.

Quality 35%Capital 25%Safety 25%Value 15%

The model intentionally excludes the sentiment overlay used by the Roaring Kitty screen. Non-positive P/B is unavailable; when Yahoo omits CapEx, CF/CapEx is inferred from the difference between operating and free cash flow.

Quality compounders

Buffett

Uses annual SEC filing history to find durable returns on capital, cash conversion, stable margins, manageable leverage, and a sensible FCF yield.

Quality 35%Cash 20%Moat 15%Balance 15%Valuation 15%

Before scoring: at least 4 fiscal years, positive FCF in 60% of the latest five available years, net debt/EBITDA no more than 4x, share CAGR no more than 5%, market cap at least $1B, and no financials or REITs. Domestic 10-K and foreign-issuer 20-F filings are supported. At least 75% pillar confidence is required.

Cross-screener setup

Turnarounds

Starts with the top 50 confident names from each screener, then overlays two years of weekly price structure: drawdown depth, recovery, 20-week trend, range contraction, and volume interest.

Setup 50%Best screener 50%+6 per extra screen

Formula: 0.5 × setup + 0.5 × best screener score + 6 × additional screener hits, capped at 100. Candidates with zero setup evidence are omitted rather than presented as turnarounds.

From ticker to dashboard

A refresh updates source data first, then recalculates every screener and rebuilds the combined view. The dashboard reads the latest completed output files.

UniverseStart with listed tickers and retain common-stock-like securities.
SourceMarket data and company metadata come from Yahoo Finance; Buffett history comes from SEC XBRL filings.
CleanRemove funds, warrants, notes, shells, missing-cap rows, and strategy-specific gate failures.
RankConvert usable metrics into relative percentiles and weighted pillars.
PublishWrite auditable CSV outputs and serve the most recently completed scores.

How to read the output

The dashboard is one company universe viewed through selectable methodology lenses. Scores remain separate: Overview highlights agreement and the strongest official match, while each lens reveals its own pillars, metrics, confidence, and exclusions.

No synthetic consensus score

Cross-strategy scores are comparable signals, not interchangeable estimates of value. The interface shows them together but does not average conflicting philosophies into a false precision.

Confidence is coverage

It is the share of configured pillar weight supported by usable data. A high score with low confidence deserves skepticism.

Rankings move

Percentiles change when the universe, prices, filings, estimates, or peer distribution changes. A lower rank does not necessarily mean the company deteriorated.

Data age matters

Refreshes depend on third-party availability and completion of the whole pipeline. Check the dashboard's data-age indicator before relying on a row.

  • Scores are mechanical, cross-sectional research signals. They are not forecasts, price targets, suitability determinations, guarantees, or representations of intrinsic value.
  • Market and filing data may be delayed, stale, incomplete, revised, incorrectly mapped, or misparsed. Third-party services can change or fail without notice.
  • Historical returns and backtests are hypothetical research. They can contain survivorship, selection, look-ahead, data-quality, execution, tax, and transaction-cost limitations. Past performance does not predict future results.
  • All investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Small-cap, distressed, heavily shorted, momentum, and turnaround securities may be especially volatile, illiquid, difficult to exit, or subject to permanent loss.
