Not a summary. Not a headline. The actual numbers — what the company earns, what it owes, whether it's genuinely growing.
For most of us, investing has meant handing that over to someone else and hoping they got it right. Trusting advice that comes with a commission. Reading fund documents designed to be unreadable.
VETTD is built on the premise that financial quality is measurable — and that you can learn to read it yourself.
We screen every company in your watchlist against the same rigorous criteria. No opinions. No forecasts. No ratings from analysts with skin in the game. Just the numbers, consistently applied.
VETTD is built to identify growth compounders — businesses that reinvest profits at high rates of return and grow intrinsic value year after year. The metrics that reveal this — FCF growth, revenue CAGR, earnings momentum, net cash position — are most predictive in capital-intensive or innovation-driven industries: Technology, Energy, Manufacturing, and Healthcare.
Buffett's Coca-Cola is a legitimate long-term compounder — but it compounds through brand moat, pricing power, and dividend growth, not through the reinvestment and revenue expansion our model measures. Applying a 10% revenue CAGR threshold to KO would produce a false negative. A Consumer Defensive screen needs different benchmarks, and we're building it properly rather than forcing it into the wrong model.
Consumer Defensive screening — with sector-calibrated thresholds for gross margin stability, dividend growth, and pricing power — is on the roadmap.
Every company is run through the same criteria, applied the same way. There's no house view, no market commentary, no one telling you what to think about a stock.
The full criteria and academic basis are available in the Pro methodology section. Free users see the same screens — the same rigour — on every ticker they add.
