Quality

What kind of company is this?

The petals describe the company itself: Quality, Financial Strength, Moat, Management, Growth, and Risk Resistance. Longer petals generally indicate stronger characteristics.

The center answers a different question: how attractive the stock's current valuation appears. Dark green is the strongest opportunity, light green is attractive, yellow is near fair value, orange signals caution, and red means the current price appears expensive relative to ReadWeave's fair-value estimate.

Petals = company quality. Center = current valuation attractiveness.

Discovery

Why is this company becoming interesting?

Discovery does not judge the company's fundamental quality again. It looks for independent signs that something new may be developing.

It considers Attention, News Impact, Volume Interest, Value Momentum, Evidence Momentum, and Emergence. Missing signals are omitted rather than estimated.

A high Discovery score means “investigate further,” not automatically “buy.”
