How to read the scores
Every analysis gives a stock two independent numbers. The Buffett Score measures the quality of the business and the price you pay for it. The Behavioral Score measures what the crowd is doing to that price. Each is a sum of dimensions scored 0 to 20 by the model, and each number maps to one label.
Buffett Score
Six pillars: moat, management, financial health, capital allocation, growth runway, fair price. Summed and scaled to 100.
| Load the Truck | 90 and above | Rare: a wonderful business at a great price on all six pillars. |
| Buy | 80 to 89 | A high-quality business at a fair price. Classic Buffett territory. |
| Watchlist | 70 to 79 | A good business, but the price is rich or one pillar is weak. Wait for a better entry. |
| Pass | below 70 | Lacks a moat, has weak management, or is too expensive. Too hard. |
Behavioral Score
Five dimensions: narrative, sentiment, momentum, positioning, volatility. Summed to 100. It reads the strength of the crowd's push, not whether the business is good.
| Irrational Hype | 80 and above | Full FOMO: the price is driven by the story, not by fundamentals. High blow-up risk. |
| Tailwind | 60 to 79 | Strong positive psychology: the crowd is engaged and pushing, but not yet irrational. |
| Neutral | 40 to 59 | No dominant psychological force: fundamentals matter more than the crowd right now. |
| Drag | 20 to 39 | Negative sentiment weighs on the stock: the crowd is fearful or leaving. |
| Panic | below 20 | Capitulation or a collapsed story: either the business is broken or it is a contrarian setup. |
Reading the two together
The gap between the two scores is where opportunity, or danger, lives.
| Combination | What it means | Looks like |
|---|---|---|
| High Buffett + Neutral or Drag | The best setup. A great business the crowd is ignoring or punishing. | A quality compounder after a bad quarter. |
| High Buffett + Irrational Hype | Good business, dangerous entry. You are paying a crowd premium on top of the business. | A market darling at the top of its story. |
| Low Buffett + Tailwind or Hype | A trap. A weak business riding a narrative wave; when the story breaks there is nothing underneath. | Meme stocks, unprofitable hype. |
| Low Buffett + Panic | Usually a pass. The crowd is right. The rare exceptions become legendary trades. | Distressed turnarounds. |
