SVSS Output Columns Reference Guide
This guide explains every column currently produced by the SVSS system—what each represents, how it is calculated
conceptually, and how it should be interpreted in decision-making.
SVSS is not a screener. It is a layered decision system designed to filter, confirm, and time
high-quality opportunities while actively blocking weak or dangerous ones.
Intrinsic Value → Margin of Safety % → SmartValue Score → SCOREX Tier → SREF Signal → Regime Signal → Kill Switch → SRL Fit Grade
1. Identity & Classification
Ticker
The stock symbol analyzed.
Sector
- Primary business sector of the company.
- Used in Regime Fit calculations.
- Important for rotation and relative strength analysis.
Market Cap
- Total market value of the company.
- Used for scale awareness.
- Impacts volatility expectations and FCF Yield.
2. Market Pricing
Price
Current market price at time of analysis.
P/E
- Price-to-Earnings ratio.
- Contextual metric only.
- Not directly used for scoring.
3. Profitability & Balance Sheet
ROE (Return on Equity)
- Measures profitability relative to shareholder equity.
- Very high ROE may reflect buybacks.
- Moderate to high ROE indicates operational strength.
Debt/Equity
- Financial leverage ratio.
- Used in SREF risk scoring.

4. Intrinsic Valuation
Intrinsic Value
Model-derived fair value based on:
EPS, Growth assumptions, Cost of equity, and a terminal multiple.
This value is model-driven, not market-driven.
Margin of Safety %
- Percentage difference between intrinsic value and market price.
- Positive = undervalued
- Negative = overvalued
- Used as a supporting signal, not a standalone trigger.
5. SmartValue Core (Primary Fundamental Score)
SmartValue Score
Composite 0–100 score combining:
valuation sanity, business quality, financial strength, and cash flow health.
This is the base score before regime and timing adjustments.
SRL Fit Grade
Letter-grade interpretation of SmartValue Score.
| Grade | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A | Exceptional fit |
| B | Strong candidate |
| C | Mixed |
| D | Weak |
| F | Avoid |
Reason
Human-readable explanation summarizing the SmartValue outcome.
6. SCOREX – Business Quality Layer
SCOREX evaluates business quality independent of price.
SCOREX
Numerical quality score (0–100).
SCOREX Tier
Letter-grade quality bucket.
ROIC (Return on Invested Capital)
Measures efficiency of capital deployment.
EPS Growth
- Recent earnings growth trend.
- Negative values indicate deterioration.
Revenue Growth
- Top-line growth trend.
- Stability is often more important than speed.
Z-Score (Altman Z)
Financial distress indicator. Higher values indicate lower bankruptcy risk.
FCF Yield
Free Cash Flow divided by Market Cap. Higher = stronger cash generation.
7. SREF – Structural Risk Filter
SREF Score
Numerical assessment of balance-sheet and structural risk.
SREF Signal
- Signal = acceptable risk
- No Signal = caution or weakness
8. Technical Context (Non-Predictive)
200-Day MA
Long-term trend reference.
50-MA
Intermediate trend reference.

Regime Signal
Human-readable regime state:
Favorable • Supportive • Neutral • Cautious • Hostile
Regime Multiplier
Applied to SmartValue Score.
Final SVSS Score
SmartValue Score × Regime Multiplier. This is the primary ranking score.
10. Forward Confirmation
Ensures the business is not deteriorating.
Forward Score
Composite forward stability score.
Forward Signal
- Stable
- Mixed
- Deteriorating
11. Kill Switch – Automatic Disqualifiers

Kill Reasons
Specific triggers such as: declining revenue, negative FCF, excessive leverage, deteriorating Z-score.
12. Decision System Output
