Unearned doubt Price or sentiment weakness with no real damage — the doubt the strategy wants to own.
Constructive catalyst Positive news lifted the score.
Open debate A real, unresolved question — score left unchanged.
Half · confirm the turn Promising but unproven, so deliberately given half weight.
Weight = signal strength ÷ volatility, capped 15% per name / 30% per sector. Action reflects a 20% no-trade band — companies already near target are left untouched. Same inputs always produce the same weights: a mechanical, repeatable process. Research evidence for your own judgment — not investment advice.
