How StockLens scores: every company is scored by the same quantitative engine across five domains (Fundamental, Technical, Risk, Sentiment, Macro), combined into one composite and read through the archetype lens that fits its business model. When the engine sets a metric aside, that abstention is deliberate rigor, not missing analysis.
