Issuance (99): The share count has been shrinking and the company is not leaning on new borrowing.

Quality (21): Profits are thin or unreliable for the size of the business, or they are not turning into cash.

Size (12): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.
