Today's reads — the names that made the grade
Every name, run through the same checks most people skip. The few that cleared every one today are here — a quality grade to test yourself, business quality first. Not a prediction it'll rise, and not a buy.
How the Desk reads a name →How our own calls have actually done →
Before you trust a single read: here's our own honest record of how the names that made the grade have actually done — two-sided, and shown only once the record can stand behind it. How our own calls have actually done →
As of Oct 9, 2026 · graded across 91 names
Only 2 of 91 names cleared every check we run today — the bar most names never reach.
Cleared every check that applies — room back toward its own 1-year high.
Closest today
Names one tier below today's bar — strong on most checks, but not every one is clean. Here's where each stands, not a shortfall to go fix.
17 names came close today — one tier below the bar.
Beyond today's grade
The Desk shows the few that made the grade today. The Hunt is the full ladder behind it — every name graded on the same four checks and grouped by how many it clears, for you to sort.
Made the grade means a name cleared every mechanical check that applies today — a quality grade, not a forecast that it will rise. We group by grade, never by how likely a move is.
Not advice to buy, sell, or size anything. The checks are mechanical; what you do with them is your own call.
