How it scores

Five questions, each answered by the measures under it. Every figure is the company's own; the bar beside it is where that figure sits among the companies read here — the top fifth, the bottom fifth, or somewhere between. Not among all listed companies, and for a valuation multiple the low end is the good end.

A measure absent from a block could not be computed from this company's filings. It is left out rather than scored as though it were bad, and the dimension is averaged over what remains. A score is measured against a fixed scale this model states; the bar is measured against the other companies, so the two can disagree — and where they do, that disagreement is the more interesting figure.

The figures, and where each came from

This is the part no other screener shows. Each figure below names the XBRL element it was read from, so it can be checked against the filing itself.

What to be careful about

revenue is annual, not TTM
operating income is annual, not TTM
no market cap; set `market_cap` in overrides.yaml
no usable diluted share count, so growth is measured on total revenue rather than per share; a company issuing shares to fund that growth reads better than it is
no forward EPS estimate; growth rests on filings only. Analyst consensus is not published in XBRL, so it has to be fetched from a data provider or set by hand in overrides.yaml as `eps_growth_2y`
valuation DROPPED from the total: only 0 of 2 inputs could be computed (ev sales, ev owner earnings not tagged), so the score is not meaningful. Its weight is spread over the other dimensions

See it scored yourself

The dashboard puts CRST.L beside other companies and lets you change what counts: the weight of each dimension, the value that earns a ten, and which of the 61 measures are included at all.
