Score Detail
Opportunity Score
Measures near-term upside potential based on momentum, quality, and valuation signals.
Helps you quickly identify assets with favorable risk-reward setups without reading dozens of charts and reports.
Current drivers
- Momentum is neutral — opportunity depends on other factors
- Technical indicators confirm bullish setup
- Relative valuation appears favorable
Risk Score
Estimates downside exposure from volatility, liquidity, and asset-class risk factors. Higher means more risk.
Knowing risk before you act prevents surprises. A high-opportunity asset with high risk needs a different approach than a stable compounder.
Current drivers
- STOCK baseline risk applied
- Stable daily price action reduces immediate risk
AI Conviction
Reflects how strongly our model agrees across all internal signals and how complete the underlying data is.
Not every score is equally reliable. Conviction tells you whether the model sees a clear picture or mixed, incomplete signals.
Current drivers
- Risk-opportunity balance assessed for signal agreement
- Data coverage is strong — model confidence is higher
