How the Screener Works
The screener is built on structural evaluation. Before any search is performed, each company is evaluated across defined structural characteristics. These evaluations are called signals. A signal measures a structural relationship within the data — not just a value, but a pattern across time, balance sheet structure, capital allocation behavior, or market dynamics.
Examples include:
- Consistency of growth across time
- Conversion of earnings into cash
- Stability of margins relative to leverage
- Concentration of refinancing exposure
Each signal has a defined range, strength score, and confidence measure. All searches ultimately resolve to signals.
When Signals Align
Some structural conditions require multiple relationships to align. When several signals align simultaneously, they form a recognizable configuration. These configurations are called stories.
A story is the result of structural signals aligning. Stories describe structure — they do not predict outcomes.
Three Structural Roles
Stories are grouped into three structural roles.
Situational Stories
Describe recognizable structural conditions present in the data.
Diagnostic Stories
Highlight structural tension or mismatch between surface interpretation and underlying structure.
Vulnerability Stories
Describe structural dependency and exposure without predicting triggering events.
Exploration Through Structure
Traditional filtering combines isolated metrics manually. This screener evaluates structural relationships in advance, allowing multi-dimensional conditions to be expressed as coherent configurations. Instead of assembling dozens of independent filters, you can explore calibrated structural conditions directly.
You remain in control of signal selection. Stories reflect structural alignment when it occurs.
Explore Stories
Below are example structural configurations that can be opened directly in the screener. These illustrate how signals align into recognizable patterns.
Situational Examples
Consistent Grower
What it represents: Revenue and earnings expanding steadily with low variance in growth rates. This configuration highlights businesses where expansion appears structurally supported rather than episodic, emphasizing regularity over raw speed.
Consistent Growth
Company with steady revenue and earnings growth over time
Capital Reinvestment Intensity
What it represents: Elevated capital expenditure relative to operating cash generation. This configuration identifies companies directing substantial resources toward asset expansion. It describes allocation posture, not investment quality.
Capital Reinvestment
Company with elevated capital expenditure relative to cash generation
Diagnostic Example
Earnings Acceleration
What it represents: Increasing earnings growth relative to prior periods. This configuration captures momentum phases where multiple acceleration signals align. It describes a current structural phase, not permanence.
Earnings Acceleration
Company with accelerating growth in earnings, profits, and cash flow
Vulnerability Example
Volatility Compression State
What it represents: Price volatility contracting into a tight range. This configuration highlights structural compression phases where expansion often follows. It describes condition, not direction.
Volatility Compression
Stock with price volatility compressed across multiple indicators
Each configuration can be opened and modified inside the screener. Stories describe structure. You remain in control of signal selection.
Limits
StockSignal does not provide financial advice. Signals measure current structural conditions. Stories describe configurations of those conditions. The system does not promise performance and does not eliminate uncertainty. It clarifies structure.
