Screen thesis

A momentum-led growth proxy: strong recent and annual earnings growth, price leadership near 52-week highs, and high relative strength. It is the most price-sensitive screen here and is intended for trend-aware users, not buy-and-hold.

Rulebook

Every rule is visible. Required rules must pass; scoring and guardrail rules shape or caution the result.
