One company in, its statistical peers out
Point it at one company and it surfaces the others with the same financial signature — a fundamentals-driven comparable-company scanner.
The signature
A fundamentals signature is built from a company’s earnings, net income, margins, growth and quality. The reference company stops being a name and becomes a shape that other companies can be measured against.
The scan
That signature is run against a universe of thousands of equities, and the closest statistical peers come back ranked by similarity to the reference. The output is a peer set derived from the numbers rather than assembled from sector labels.
The discipline
Fundamentals eliminate before any narrative is allowed in. This is the way a disciplined screen is supposed to work — it removes candidates rather than promoting them, and the story is something you go and find afterward, if the numbers left anything standing.
