Top 10 / Method
How the Top 10 scores are built
A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation.
The two scores
Long-term Score
Rebalanced rebalanced on the first trading day of each month. See the long-term ten →
Short-term Score
Rebalanced rebalanced every Monday. See the short-term ten →
How a pillar becomes a number
Every input is ranked across the companies it is compared with — the whole covered universe for a market-wide list, the sector alone for a sector list — and turned into a percentile from 0 to 100. Where a pillar has several inputs they are averaged before ranking. A score is the weighted sum of those percentiles, so it says where a company sits among its peers on that night, never what it is worth.
Each bar is a percentile: how this company ranked against every company the score ranked, 0–100.
Who is eligible
A company is ranked only if it is covered, carries a sector, clears the size and liquidity floors, has a price fresh enough to use, and has at least one live input for every pillar. A company missing a whole pillar is left out rather than scored with a gap filled in — an omission is visible, an invented input is not.
How the ten are chosen
At each rebalance the top 10 by score are taken, with two rules on top. A sitting member is held while it stays inside the top 15, so a list of ten does not churn on the difference between rank 10 and rank 11. And no more than 4 members of a market-wide list may come from one sector; when the cap binds, the company that was skipped is recorded by name, so the question “why is it not in the list when it outscores one that is?” has a written answer rather than a re-derivation.
Between rebalances the membership does not change, except that a company that stops being eligible leaves immediately. Its slot is not refilled until the next scheduled rebalance — filling it early would be a selection decision taken outside the calendar this page publishes — so a list can legitimately carry fewer than ten for a while, and each page shows the count it actually has.
How performance is tracked
Each list is valued equal-weight from the day it went live, rebased to 100, and shown beside the same benchmark rebased on the same day. Members are held from one rebalance to the next; a company that leaves is included up to the day it left. There is no backfilled record: every list is tracked from its own first live day forward, and that date is printed on its page.
What these lists are not
A list is a published formula and its output, not a recommendation. The formula is fixed and published; when its weights change that is a new method version, and past scores are never recomputed under new weights, so a score is only comparable with others from the same version. The current version is 2.
