Common Issues & FAQ

Q: What is a good overall score? A: Above 70 indicates strong overall profile. 80+ is excellent. However, look at component scores to understand what's driving the rating.

Q: Why might a stock have high overall but low individual scores? A: A very high score in one dimension can offset lower scores in others. Check RankValue, RankQuality, and RankTechnical individually.

Q: Is overall score enough for investment decisions? A: It's a good starting point, but understand the component scores and do additional research.
