Frequently asked questions

What is a Setup Score?
A Setup Score is a single 0–100 number that combines up to seven lenses — valuation, quality, drawdown, smart-money, options, sentiment and macro — into one explainable view of a stock, along with a plain-language verdict. Higher means more constructive on that lens. Every sub-score is shown so you can see what drove it.
