Fundamentals

The reference for the company-condition side of the app: what each area scores, what each check tests, and what each indicator row on the Fundamentals page measures. Every page has the same six sections — what it measures, why it is on the page, its thresholds with their source and the population they were fitted on, a worked example, what No verdict means for it, and what the verdict is and is not.

Section Pages What they describe
Areas six The scored areas of the condition band: profitability, cash, debt, growth, allocation, quality
Checks thirty The individual tests inside each area — each passes, fails, cannot be evaluated or does not apply
Indicators the Fundamentals page's rows Ratios and models such as the DuPont decomposition, Altman Z or the cash conversion cycle

How the thirty checks are spread over the six areas

  "data": [
    {
      "type": "bar",
      "x": ["Growth", "Cash", "Debt", "Profitability", "Allocation", "Quality"],
      "y": [7, 5, 5, 5, 4, 4],
      "marker": { "color": "#3f51b5" },
      "hovertemplate": "%{x}: %{y} checks<extra></extra>"
    }
  ],
  "layout": {
    "title": { "text": "Checks per area (30 in all)" },
    "yaxis": { "title": { "text": "checks" }, "dtick": 1 }
  }
}

An area's verdict is the share of its checks that passed, among those that could run — which is why every tile also says n of m checks passed.
