Both readings sit above the midpoint — business quality at 77 and price structure at 87 out of 100 — so they are not in conflict. The fundamentals and the tape are saying the same thing, which is the case in which either one alone would have been enough.
| Trigger | Where it stands now | What it would mean |
|---|---|---|
| IS Score reaches 75 and holds two consecutive quarters | now 77.4 | would move us up one band |
| IS Score stops falling - one quarter higher than the prior | last four: 83 → 83 → 82 → 77 | 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 3,703 → now 3,604 | 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.
