Three classic accounting-quality scores. F-Score (0-9, higher = better fundamentals); M-Score (>-1.78 flags possible manipulation); Z-Score (>2.99 = safe, <1.81 = distressed). Use together — single-score readings are noisy.
Per-quarter consensus estimates + actuals + beat/miss surprise. Sourced from Finnhub (Wall Street consensus aggregation).
Source caveat: Finnhub free tier returns the consensus mean only — analyst high / low / dispersion + analyst counts require a paid plan. A "$5.00 consensus" line above could mean "20 analysts at exactly $5" (high conviction) or "10 at $5.50, 10 at $4.50" (split). Treat single-line consensus accordingly.
Bridges from the federal statutory rate (21% post-TCJA) to the effective tax rate via the issuer's tax-note reconciliation lines. Sourced from EffectiveIncomeTaxRateReconciliation* flat CompanyFacts concepts. Conditional lines (R&D credits, FDII, SBC, valuation allowance, etc.) only render when the issuer discloses them. Persistent divergence between accrual tax expense and cash taxes paid is a leading signal for deferred-tax buildup.

Per-deal acquisition disclosures sourced from us-gaap:BusinessAcquisitionAxis dimensional XBRL. Each card surfaces the deal's purchase-price allocation (goodwill vs intangibles vs liabilities), contingent consideration (unpaid earn-outs), and pro-forma combined-entity numbers. Probability-of-Success (PoS) factor on biotech targets is the ASC 805 contingent-consideration valuation — higher = closer to commercialization, higher implied target value.
