These two disagree — business quality 31, price structure 86 out of 100, so the price reads better than the business does. We publish the disagreement rather than resolving it: they answer different questions, and the gap between them is information, not an error.
| Trigger | Where it stands now | What it would mean |
|---|---|---|
| IS Score reaches 55 and holds two consecutive quarters | now 30.9 | would move us up one band |
| IS Score stops falling - one quarter higher than the prior | last four: 24 → 31 → 57 → 31 | the direction matters more than the level |
| Technical vote share back above 50% | now 100% | price structure no longer broken |
| Institutional holder count rises two quarters running | peak 1,804 → now 1,783 | fewer institutions willing to hold is our clearest warning |

Method. Every figure in this factsheet is looked up from a named field computed in code. It contains no model-written text.
Not covered. Short interest as a percent of float and days-to-cover are not in this data set — the short-sale figures above are FINRA volume, a flow, and cannot support squeeze or covering analysis. Options positioning and intraday data are also absent. 13F ownership is filed 45 days after quarter end and congressional trades are disclosed on a lag, so both describe a past position, not a current one.
