Opportunity Score Explained

A research filter, not a prediction machine.

Beginner 8 min Not Started

In Simple Words

The Opportunity Score is a 0–100 number that summarizes how attractive a company looks across several research categories Warifin measures. Think of it as a research filter that surfaces companies worth a closer look — not a prediction of future price.

Why It Matters

It saves time: instead of researching hundreds of companies, you start with the ones that look strongest on measured factors.

Key Terms

Contributing categories

The factors Warifin combines into the score (such as growth, valuation, momentum and quality).

Score band

A range (e.g. 70–84) with a plain-language label like 'Strong Research Candidate'.

How to Use It in Warifin

  1. 1Open Warifin Intelligence and search a ticker.
  2. 2Open the Opportunity Score section.
  3. 3Read the overall score and its band label.
  4. 4Review the contributing categories to see what drove the score.
  5. 5Continue to deeper research before any decision.

How to Interpret It

A score of 85 means the company looks strong on the measured factors — not that it has an 85% chance of rising. A previously high score can fall if the data changes.

Beginner Mistakes

  • Treating a high score as a probability of profit.
  • Buying on score alone without reading the categories.

Try It Yourself

Find a company's Opportunity Score and list the top two contributing categories and the weakest one. That context matters more than the single number.

Key Takeaway

Use the Opportunity Score to narrow your research — not to replace your judgment.
