Hard gates

5
binary pass/fail

Applied after core screen. Fail any gate and the ticker is rejected. Gate logic is proprietary.

Soft flags

3
tracked, not automatic fail

Flagged on the scorecard and factored into conviction scoring. Not grounds for automatic rejection.

Tiering + conviction scoring

Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 + conviction score

Passed candidates get a tier and a conviction score. Scoring model is proprietary.

Invalidation conditions

"[condition] happens within [timeframe]"

Defined per candidate at screen time. If triggered, the ticker is re-screened or removed.

Sell triggers + hold overrides

5 sell triggers + 3 hold overrides

Sell triggers define when a position must be exited. Hold overrides define when a flagged position can be kept. Details are proprietary.

Rejection + watchlist

Rejected
Reason recorded per ticker
Watchlist
Re-screen trigger defined per ticker
