Accruals (77): Reported profit is backed by cash, and the company is not expanding recklessly.

Quality (43): Profits are thin or unreliable for the size of the business, or they are not turning into cash.

Size (28): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

The rank is the raw material. Whether the rules would actually own Denali Therapeutics, Inc. — and when they’d sell — is the membership.
