The formula is public. Here's why that matters.
Every other prosumer score-per-ticker tool hides their methodology as IP. We publish the six factors and the exact weights — because the day the formula stops working, you should know to leave.
If you ask Tipranks why a stock has a 7/10 Smart Score, you get "we aggregate analyst consensus, hedge fund moves, insider trades, and blogger sentiment." If you ask Zacks why a stock has a #1 rank, the answer is "earnings estimate revisions" but the cutoffs are proprietary. If you ask Kavout why their Kai Score moved, you get a black-box ML answer.
Tapeline gives you the literal expression. It's on /how-it-works and reproduced here:
score = 0.25 × trend
+ 0.20 × relative_strength
+ 0.15 × fundamentals
+ 0.15 × smart_money
+ 0.15 × macro
+ 0.10 × momentum
Why publish it?
- Trust compounds when you can audit. If you find a ticker scoring 90 when its trend is clearly broken, you can call it out — and we'd rather you do that than churn silently.
- The moat isn't the formula, it's the data spine. Plenty of competitors could copy the equation. None of them will publish their public scorecard back-checking every call against next-day prices the way we do.
- If the formula stops working, you should leave. We'd rather you make that call honestly than discover via a slow drip of bad picks.
The weights are versioned in our changelog. The day they change, you see why. That's the whole product, in one paragraph.
