Screen thesis

Growth at a reasonable price: pay no more than the growth rate (PEG at or below 1), favor steady mid-teens to mid-twenties earnings growth over the fastest movers, and require a sound balance sheet. It looks for understandable compounders that the market has not fully priced.

Rulebook

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