In each lane the line is the rule's threshold, the dot is the stock's value and the bar between them is the gap. Market cap, price and volume use a log scale: one step is ten times. A value beyond the end sits at the edge as an open dot.

Weaknesses
- Thin trading: about 162 K shares a day.
- Trailing EPS of − $1.28; the company is losing money.
- Burning cash; at this pace cash lasts about 1.5 years.
- Trailed the S&P 500 by 19.8 points over six months.
- Share count up + 96.2% in a year; existing holders are being diluted.
- The price is 40.1% below its 52-week high.
Strengths
- Market cap of $1.09 B, comfortably above the size floor.
- Share price of $31.27, outside penny-stock territory.
- Current ratio of 2.61; short-term obligations are well covered.
- Debt to equity of 0.10; a light debt load.
- The price is 40.0% above its 52-week low.
- Net insider buying over the last six months.
Next Steps
- Trading volume is low. Expect wider spreads and price impact on larger orders.
- The company is burning cash. Look for the funding plan (debt, share issuance, cash buffer) in the last report.
- It lags while the market or the sector rises. Compare it with the sector's leaders; lagging may have a reason.
- The share count is rising. Check how much growth stays per share: buybacks or new issuance?
- Write down the concrete reason for growth: a new product, a contract, management or an industry shift. If you cannot say it in one sentence, waiting may be the better choice.
What You Should Check
- Is there a concrete reason for growth, and can you say it in one sentence?
- Where does the valuation sit against sector peers?
- Does the chart confirm the trend, or are you fighting a falling price?
- Is the position size within the loss you could bear if you are wrong?
The score averages the measurable rules with category weights: growth 30, price strength 20, profitability 15, health 15, ownership 10, catalysts 10. A pass counts in full, a caution half; rules we cannot measure stay out. A stock that hits an elimination rule is capped at 45. Growth above 300% counts as a base effect and is marked as a caution.
