9 Stock Analysis Models Compared: Value, Growth, Momentum, Dividend, Risk, and Sentiment
Place nine stock analysis models on one screen and an appealing shortcut appears: count the favorable results.
That shortcut is analytically wrong.
A Discounted Cash Flow estimate, a Peter Lynch GARP score, a Mark Minervini trend score, an Altman distress classification, and an Analyst Sentiment regime do not represent five votes on the same question. One estimates value. One tests growth relative to price. One qualifies trend structure. One looks for financial distress. One describes institutional positioning.
These models may all examine the same stock, but they do not examine the same claim.
This comparison covers nine representative models across the six StockGeniuses model families: Value, Growth, Momentum, Dividend & Income, Financial Health & Risk, and Sentiment. It is not the complete StockGeniuses model library, and it is not a ranking from best to worst. Its purpose is to show what each model asks, what evidence it needs, what kind of output it produces, and where its authority ends.
The practical rule is simple: choose the analytical question before choosing the model.
Compare the question before comparing the score
Every model can be read through six criteria:
- Primary question: What is the model trying to determine?
- Evidence: Which financial, market, dividend, or perception data does it use?
- Output: Does it produce an intrinsic value, diagnostic score, risk zone, or directional regime?
- Best fit: For which businesses and analytical situations is it most informative?
- Blind spot: Which important evidence is outside its design?
- Non-conclusion: What should the investor refuse to infer from the result?
This is the same discipline developed in how to read a stock analysis model: read the inputs and model contract before reacting to the headline output.
The distinction matters because even apparently similar numbers can carry different meanings. An 8 out of 10 from a valuation model does not mean the same thing as an 8 out of 10 from a technical trend model. The scales may look alike, but the underlying questions, time horizons, and failure conditions are different.
CFA Institute notes that analysts often use more than one valuation model because model fit and input sensitivity vary. That principle becomes even more important when the models cross category boundaries and stop producing the same type of output.
Nine stock analysis models at a glance
| Family | Model | Primary question | Main evidence | Output type | Major blind spot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Discounted Cash Flow | What is the present value of expected future cash generation? | Forecast FCFF, WACC, terminal growth, net debt | Intrinsic value per share, value gap, 0-10 score | Market timing and assumption uncertainty |
| Value | Buffett Intrinsic Value | What is the business worth to a long-term owner under conservative assumptions? | Owner earnings, maintenance capex, governed discount rate | Intrinsic value per share, value gap, 0-10 score | Maintenance-capex estimation and reinvestment complexity |
| Growth | Peter Lynch GARP | Is growth healthy without the stock being priced for perfection? | P/E, EPS growth, PEG, leverage, dividends | PEG diagnostics and 0-10 score | Intrinsic value and market confirmation |
| Growth | CAN SLIM | Do growth, leadership, participation, and market evidence converge? | Earnings growth, sales, price/volume, relative strength, institutions | Multi-component 0-10 score or Not Meaningful | Intrinsic value and complete business quality |
| Momentum | Minervini Trend Template | Is the stock technically qualified for a strong momentum phase? | Moving averages, range position, relative strength, liquidity, recent price | Condition audit and 0-10 score | Fundamentals, valuation, timing, and trend maturity |
| Dividend | Gordon Growth Model | What is a conservative income-based value for a stable dividend stream? | Dividend per share, dividend growth, required return | Intrinsic value, 0-10 score, confidence flag | Buybacks, changing payout policy, and multi-stage growth |
| Financial Health & Risk | Piotroski F-Score | Are the company’s fundamentals getting stronger or weaker? | Nine year-over-year accounting signals | F-Score from 0-9 and condition classification | Valuation, market behavior, and distress probability |
| Financial Health & Risk | Altman Z-Score | Does the company exhibit signs of financial distress? | Five balance-sheet and income-statement ratios | Z-Score and distress zone | Business quality, valuation, and broad sector applicability |
| Sentiment | Analyst Sentiment | Is institutional coverage supportive, neutral, or cautious, and is it changing? | Ratings, upgrades/downgrades, estimate revisions, coverage | Directional regime, momentum, confidence | Intrinsic worth and future returns |
The table reveals the first important pattern: these models do not merely use different formulas. They produce different types of evidence.
Value models ask what the business may be worth
Value models connect future or normalized business economics to an estimate of present worth. They do not all define economic value in the same way.
StockGeniuses contains seven Value models. Article 038 uses DCF and Buffett Intrinsic Value as representative examples because both are cash-generation models, yet their treatment of cash flow, reinvestment, discounting, and growth differs. The complete family is mapped in 7 Stock Valuation Models Investors Should Know.
1. Discounted Cash Flow: expected cash generation
The Discounted Cash Flow model asks:
What is the present value of this business based on its expected future cash generation?
The StockGeniuses DCF uses Free Cash Flow to the Firm, discounts the forecast through WACC, adds a discounted terminal value, and then moves from enterprise value to equity value through net debt. Its visible outputs include intrinsic value per share, market price, value gap, and a normalized DCF score.
The model fits companies whose cash flows can be forecast with enough stability to make the exercise meaningful. It becomes less dependable when cash flow is structurally negative, highly cyclical, or dominated by speculative assumptions. WACC must remain above terminal growth, and heavy terminal-value dependence reduces confidence.
DCF is often described as comprehensive because it can make many business assumptions explicit. That flexibility is also its main vulnerability. More forecast rows do not remove uncertainty; they can simply distribute uncertainty across more cells.
The Apple DCF valuation example demonstrates the consequence. The filing data establishes a factual starting point, but growth, discount rate, terminal growth, and normalization choices still determine much of the output.
Its boundary is clear: DCF cannot establish that the market will recognize the estimate, that the current moment is a suitable entry, or that a favorable value gap makes the wider thesis sound.
2. Buffett Intrinsic Value: owner economics
The Buffett Intrinsic Value model asks a related but narrower owner-oriented question:
What is this business worth to a long-term owner, based on the cash it can realistically generate for owners over time under conservative assumptions?
Its central input is owner earnings rather than FCFF. Owner earnings begin with accounting profit, add back relevant non-cash charges, and deduct the capital spending and working-capital investment required to maintain the business. That maintenance requirement is economically important but not reported as a clean line item, so estimation risk is unavoidable.
The StockGeniuses implementation uses a governed discount-rate framework and a zero-growth terminal assumption. That gives the model a more conservative posture than a DCF that allows perpetual growth, but conservative does not mean assumption-free. The maintenance-capex estimate, normalized owner earnings, and discount rate can still move the result materially.
The Buffett Intrinsic Value guide explains how Warren Buffett’s business-owner philosophy translates into this method.
The result does not reveal whether near-term price behavior is favorable, whether the business has strong momentum, or whether the maintenance needs of an opaque or rapidly changing company have been estimated correctly.
DCF and Buffett are not duplicate votes
Both models can produce an intrinsic value per share, a value gap, and a normalized 0-10 score. That shared output structure makes within-family comparison possible, but it does not turn the underlying estimates into independent confirmation of one objective truth.
If DCF is favorable and Buffett Intrinsic Value is not, the disagreement may point to growth assumptions, maintenance reinvestment, discount-rate construction, or terminal-value treatment. The gap is an audit trail, not a nuisance to average away.
Growth models ask whether expansion and price fit together
Growth analysis is not simply a search for the fastest revenue increase. It asks whether expansion is profitable, persistent, appropriately priced, and sometimes confirmed by the market.
Peter Lynch GARP and CAN SLIM both belong to the StockGeniuses Growth family, but their evidence burdens are very different.
3. Peter Lynch GARP: growth relative to price
The Peter Lynch GARP model asks:
Is this company growing at a healthy rate without being priced for perfection?
Its best-known diagnostic is the PEG ratio, which relates the price-to-earnings multiple to earnings growth. StockGeniuses evaluates a valid positive growth rate through a defined historical hierarchy, then considers growth consistency, leverage, and dividends when available.
GARP is most useful when earnings are positive and historical growth can be measured without a distorted base. It becomes Not Meaningful when the required EPS history is missing, earnings are non-positive at required points, no valid positive growth rate exists, or essential leverage data is unavailable.
A favorable GARP result says that growth and price appear reasonably aligned under the model’s rules. It does not estimate intrinsic value. Nor can it establish that reported earnings are high quality or that the market currently confirms the growth story.
The dated Alphabet walkthrough in the Peter Lynch GARP model guide shows why a clean PEG calculation still requires an earnings-quality review.
4. CAN SLIM: growth with market confirmation
CAN SLIM asks a broader question:
Is this company demonstrating the financial strength and market leadership characteristics of a top-tier growth stock?
Its seven letters organize several evidence types: current earnings, annual growth, measurable change, supply and demand, leadership, institutional participation, and market context. StockGeniuses converts available company and market inputs into a deterministic multi-component score while preserving hard eligibility rules.
CAN SLIM is therefore not just a growth-rate model. It looks for agreement between fundamental progress and market confirmation. That makes it broader than GARP, but also more data-intensive. Missing or invalid required inputs can make the model Not Meaningful rather than merely lowering the score.
The CAN SLIM investing model guide uses Nvidia to demonstrate an important discipline: visible growth evidence does not justify inventing unavailable relative-strength, participation, or institutional inputs.
Its limits remain substantial. CAN SLIM does not estimate intrinsic value, prove that a competitive advantage is durable, or determine whether a technically strong setup suits a particular investor’s risk tolerance.
GARP and CAN SLIM can disagree coherently
A company can receive a strong GARP reading because its P/E and earnings growth appear balanced while lacking the market leadership or participation needed for CAN SLIM. Another can display powerful earnings acceleration and relative strength while looking expensive through PEG.
Neither result automatically invalidates the other. The disagreement says the company satisfies one definition of growth quality more convincingly than another.
Momentum asks whether strength is established, not whether the business is valuable
Momentum models use price persistence, relative leadership, trend structure, and sometimes fundamental confirmation. Their job is to describe strength and qualification, not to explain intrinsic worth.
5. Mark Minervini Trend Template: structural qualification
The Minervini Trend Template asks:
Is this stock technically qualified to be considered in a strong momentum phase?
The StockGeniuses implementation uses nine binary conditions covering moving-average alignment, the direction of the long-term average, price position within its annual range, relative strength, liquidity, and recent price confirmation. A valid run produces a condition audit and an integer score from 0 to 10.
Its narrowness is useful. Instead of saying a chart “looks strong,” it tests declared conditions. But a high score is still a technical qualification, not permission to buy. The model does not measure business quality, valuation, financial resilience, trend maturity, entry quality, stop placement, or position sizing.
The Mark Minervini Trend Template guide shows another subtle limitation: a binary condition can flip at a narrow threshold even when the economic difference between passing and failing is small.
For a wider view of absolute momentum, relative momentum, participation, fundamental confirmation, volatility, and market regime, read the model beside momentum investing signals.
The relationship is deliberate. A technical model can describe what price is doing while price action and business quality remain separate evidence layers.
Dividend models ask what the income stream can support
Dividend analysis narrows the cash-flow question to distributions received directly by shareholders. This can be useful for mature income-paying companies, but the method must match the payout policy.
6. Gordon Growth Model: a constant-growth dividend stream
The Gordon Growth Model asks:
What is a conservative, income-based valuation floor for a stable dividend-paying company?
Its familiar structure is:
Intrinsic value = next-period dividend / (required return - dividend growth)
The required return must exceed the growth rate. Because the denominator is the difference between two assumptions, a small change in either can move the valuation sharply. CFA Institute’s discounted-dividend guidance describes the model as appropriate when a stable constant-growth dividend pattern is defensible, while multi-stage businesses may require a different dividend model.
StockGeniuses adds eligibility rules, a 0-10 GGM score, and a confidence flag. The model can be Not Meaningful when the company does not pay a dividend, lacks sufficient dividend history, has erratic distributions, or violates the required-return constraint.
The Gordon Growth Model guide explains the formula’s narrow fit and sensitivity in detail.
GGM cannot capture the full value created through retained earnings or repurchases, determine whether the payout is strategically optimal, or value a changing business accurately through several growth stages.
This limitation is especially important for companies that return substantial capital through buybacks. A dividend-only model can be mathematically correct and still describe only one channel of shareholder distribution.
Financial-health models ask whether the accounting structure is strengthening or fragile
Financial Health & Risk models are diagnostic. They do not need to value the company or describe its trend to provide useful information.
Piotroski F-Score and Altman Z-Score are often grouped together because both use financial statements. They should not be treated as substitutes.
7. Piotroski F-Score: fundamental trajectory
The Piotroski F-Score asks:
Are this company’s fundamentals getting stronger or weaker?
It uses nine binary accounting signals across profitability, leverage and liquidity, and operating efficiency. Each condition contributes either zero or one, producing an F-Score from 0 to 9. StockGeniuses classifies 7-9 as strong financial condition, 4-6 as mixed, and 0-3 as weak or deteriorating.
The original Piotroski research applied historical financial-statement signals to high book-to-market companies. That context matters. The F-Score has since become a popular general financial-quality diagnostic, but its original purpose was not to declare every high-scoring company investable.
The model is useful because it emphasizes direction: positive return on assets, improving margins, lower leverage, and stronger asset efficiency mean more when read together than as isolated ratios. Yet the score can hide which conditions passed. Two companies with an F-Score of 7 may have materially different strengths and vulnerabilities.
The F-Score cannot determine whether the shares are attractively valued, whether distress is imminent, whether market structure is favorable, or whether a one-year accounting improvement is durable.
8. Altman Z-Score: distress classification
The Altman Z-Score asks:
Is this company financially stable, or does it exhibit signs of distress?
The classic model combines five ratios involving working capital, retained earnings, operating profit, equity value, liabilities, sales, and assets. The output is a Z-Score interpreted through low-risk, grey-zone, and high-distress classifications.
The score is ordinal rather than linear. A Z-Score of 4 is not “twice as healthy” as a score of 2, and distance around the classification thresholds deserves more attention than raw numerical magnitude. Applicability matters as well. The StockGeniuses doctrine marks the model Not Meaningful for financial institutions and structurally incompatible capital profiles.
Altman’s original 1968 study developed the model in a manufacturing-company bankruptcy context. Using the formula outside an appropriate population without qualification can create confidence the research never promised.
A low-distress result does not prove that the company is a high-quality business, that its shares are undervalued, or that its stock will avoid a drawdown.
The broader financial strength and risk signals guide explains why liquidity, leverage, coverage, cash-flow resilience, and direction should remain visible around any summary model.
Piotroski and Altman answer different risk questions
Piotroski emphasizes whether accounting fundamentals are improving. Altman emphasizes whether the financial structure resembles a distress profile.
A company can improve its Piotroski signals from a weak base while remaining financially fragile. Another can have a low apparent distress risk while its margins, cash generation, or asset efficiency deteriorate. The combination is useful precisely because the models do not ask the same question.
Sentiment asks how participants are positioned, not what the company is worth
Sentiment is the clearest example of why all model outputs should not be forced onto one numeric scale.
9. Analyst Sentiment: institutional stance and drift
The Analyst Sentiment model asks:
How is institutional coverage leaning right now – supportive, neutral, or cautious – and is that stance strengthening or weakening?
It synthesizes ratings distribution, upgrades and downgrades, estimate revisions, coverage breadth, and, when available, the direction rather than the absolute level of consensus targets. Estimate revisions are more load-bearing than sticky rating labels when complete data exists.
The output is not a 0-10 score. It consists of:
- a primary regime from Strongly Bullish to Strongly Bearish;
- a momentum state such as Rising, Stabilizing, Fading, or Volatile;
- a confidence level based on coverage and signal completeness; and
- a divergence note when ratings, revisions, and change flow conflict.
Coverage below three analysts or a missing ratings snapshot makes the model Not Meaningful. Missing revisions may still allow a directional result, but confidence is capped and the momentum interpretation becomes more limited.
Analyst Sentiment cannot establish intrinsic value, expected return, durable business quality, or whether the consensus is correct. Analysts can lag changing conditions, rating distributions can be structurally optimistic, and revisions can react to events already reflected in price.
Sentiment remains behavioral context. StockGeniuses does not convert it into a numeric score or blend it mechanically into Value, Growth, Momentum, Dividend, or Risk scores.
Four output contracts that should never be flattened
The nine models produce four broad kinds of output:
| Output contract | Examples | What it communicates | Common misuse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intrinsic-value estimate | DCF, Buffett, GGM | Estimated present worth under stated assumptions | Treating an estimate as a target price or fact |
| Diagnostic score | GARP, CAN SLIM, Minervini, Piotroski | Degree of fit with defined model conditions | Assuming equal numbers mean equal evidence |
| Classification or zone | Piotroski condition label, Altman distress zone | Position relative to defined accounting thresholds | Reading an ordinal category as a probability |
| Directional regime | Analyst Sentiment | Current stance, drift, and confidence | Converting perception into valuation or prediction |
Even the diagnostic scores are not naturally interchangeable:
- Piotroski runs from 0 to 9.
- GARP, CAN SLIM, and Minervini use 0-10 structures but measure different conditions.
- Altman’s numeric output is not bounded to 0-10 and is read through zones.
- Analyst Sentiment intentionally refuses numerical normalization.
The visual similarity of two numbers is not evidence that they belong in the same arithmetic operation.
Apple example: one company, nine different questions
Consider Apple as a dated teaching example.
Analysis source snapshot: July 19, 2026. The latest company filing used here is Apple’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2026. This is a model-selection example, not a nine-model calculation and not an opinion on Apple’s shares.
The filing reports six-month net sales of $254.940 billion, compared with $219.659 billion in the prior-year period. Diluted EPS was $4.85 versus $4.05. Services net sales reached $60.989 billion, and Services gross margin was 76.6%. Apple also repurchased 135 million shares for $36.0 billion during the six months.
Those facts are relevant, but they do not support every model equally.
| Model | Question applied to Apple | Evidence the filing can support | Evidence still required |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | What are Apple’s expected future operating cash flows worth today? | Cash flow, reinvestment, balance sheet, segment and margin context | Explicit forecasts, WACC, terminal assumptions, dated market price |
| Buffett Intrinsic Value | What cash can Apple generate for owners after maintaining the business? | Net income, D&A, capital spending, working-capital information | Maintenance-capex judgment, normalization, discount rate, durable economics assessment |
| Peter Lynch GARP | Is Apple’s earnings growth reasonable relative to its price? | Current and comparative EPS | Valid multi-year growth hierarchy, P/E on a common date, leverage inputs |
| CAN SLIM | Do growth and market leadership evidence converge? | Current earnings and sales growth | Full annual history, price/volume, relative strength, institutional and market inputs |
| Minervini Trend Template | Is Apple’s current technical structure qualified? | Nothing sufficient in the filing | At least 260 adjusted closes, volume history, moving averages, range data, universe-ranked relative strength |
| Gordon Growth Model | What value can Apple’s stable dividend stream support? | Dividend and capital-return disclosures | Dividend history, governed growth rate, required return; buybacks remain outside the formula |
| Piotroski F-Score | Are Apple’s accounting fundamentals improving? | Several current and prior-period accounting inputs | Complete comparable annual signal set and exact condition audit |
| Altman Z-Score | Does Apple’s financial structure indicate distress? | Balance-sheet and income-statement inputs | Correct model variant, consistent market-equity date, applicability and threshold review |
| Analyst Sentiment | Is institutional stance improving or weakening? | The filing informs analyst expectations but does not measure their stance | Current ratings, upgrades/downgrades, revisions, coverage breadth, common 30-90 day window |
This example shows why model selection is also source selection.
An SEC filing is strong evidence for reported financial performance. It is not a substitute for adjusted price history, a cross-sectional relative-strength universe, dividend-policy history, or a timestamped analyst-revision dataset. A weak process starts with whatever data is convenient and calculates every available score. A disciplined process starts with the model contract and asks whether the required evidence exists.
It would therefore be inappropriate to call Apple favorable or unfavorable across these nine models from the filing facts above. The defensible conclusion is narrower: each model would require a different evidence package, and several cannot be reproduced from a filing alone.
Model disagreement is an explanation prompt
When models disagree, investors often ask which score is right. A more productive question is: which assumption, time horizon, or evidence layer explains the disagreement?
Consider several coherent combinations:
- Favorable DCF, weak Minervini: estimated value may appear attractive while price structure remains weak.
- Strong CAN SLIM, weak GARP: earnings and market leadership may be powerful while price relative to growth looks demanding.
- Strong Piotroski, grey-zone Altman: operations may be improving while the balance sheet remains fragile.
- Low-distress Altman result, weakening Analyst Sentiment: accounting structure may remain stable while institutional expectations fade.
- Supportive Analyst Sentiment, weak Buffett value: institutional stance may be optimistic even when conservative owner-economics assumptions do not support the market price.
These combinations are not calculation errors. They identify the unresolved part of the thesis.
Convergence matters too, but it must be described precisely. Agreement between DCF and Buffett Intrinsic Value can strengthen confidence that two owner-cash-flow approaches see similar value under their respective assumptions. It still does not confirm momentum, risk, or sentiment. Agreement among Minervini, CAN SLIM, and Analyst Sentiment can describe favorable market and expectations evidence without establishing a margin of safety.
Convergence increases confidence within the question being tested. It does not turn a partial analysis into a complete one.
How StockGeniuses keeps the model families separate
StockGeniuses organizes models into families because compatible models can reveal agreement and divergence within a shared analytical lens.
- Value Overall Score summarizes available normalized Value model results and shows coverage.
- Growth Overall Score summarizes agreement among GARP, CAN SLIM, and Cornerstone Growth.
- Momentum Overall Score summarizes available Twin Momentum, Minervini, and Dual Momentum results.
- Dividend & Income Overall Score summarizes meaningful GGM and Dividend Growth Investing results.
- Financial Health & Risk Overall Score summarizes meaningful risk diagnostics when coverage requirements are met.
- Sentiment remains directional and surfaces alignment or divergence without a numeric category score.
These summaries are orientation layers. They do not replace the model-level outputs, and category agreement is not proof of correctness.
The next boundary is equally important: category scores should not be averaged into one universal investment verdict merely because several use a 0-10 display. Value, Growth, Momentum, Dividend, and Risk do not become commensurable after normalization. Sentiment makes that limitation especially visible by remaining non-numeric.
This architecture supports the wider core-metrics-before-valuation discipline. Models organize evidence; they do not excuse the investor from understanding the business underneath it.
Which stock analysis model fits which question?
Use this decision map as a starting point:
| If the main question is… | Start with… | Then check… |
|---|---|---|
| What are expected operating cash flows worth? | DCF | Forecast sensitivity, terminal dominance, business quality |
| What can the business produce for a long-term owner? | Buffett Intrinsic Value | Maintenance reinvestment, durability, discount discipline |
| Is growth reasonably priced? | Peter Lynch GARP | Earnings quality, growth consistency, leverage |
| Do growth and market leadership agree? | CAN SLIM | Data completeness, valuation, business durability |
| Is the technical trend qualified? | Minervini Trend Template | Threshold distance, trend maturity, fundamentals, execution risk |
| What can a stable dividend stream support? | Gordon Growth Model | Payout sustainability, buybacks, multi-stage growth |
| Are accounting fundamentals improving? | Piotroski F-Score | Which signals passed, valuation, longer-term context |
| Does the company show distress characteristics? | Altman Z-Score | Applicability, zone distance, liquidity and qualitative risk |
| Is institutional stance strengthening or weakening? | Analyst Sentiment | Coverage, revisions, divergence, fundamentals and valuation |
Then apply a consistent review sequence:
- State the question. Do not begin with the score already available.
- Check eligibility. A Not Meaningful result can be more honest than a forced number.
- Freeze the date. Financial periods, market prices, and sentiment windows must not be mixed carelessly.
- Inspect the inputs. Identify estimates, proxies, missing data, and universe-dependent fields.
- Name the output type. Value estimate, diagnostic score, classification, and regime require different interpretation.
- Read the conditions beneath the summary. Similar totals can hide different evidence.
- Identify the blind spot. Ask which major thesis question remains unanswered.
- Use disagreement to direct further research. Do not smooth it away automatically.
- Return to the full thesis. A model result is evidence inside a systematic stock analysis, not the analysis itself.
The right model begins with the right question
There is no universally best stock analysis model because there is no single analytical question called “Is this a good stock?”
DCF and Buffett Intrinsic Value estimate worth through different cash-flow definitions. GARP tests growth relative to price. CAN SLIM asks whether company growth and market leadership converge. Minervini qualifies technical structure. GGM values a stable dividend stream. Piotroski measures accounting direction. Altman classifies distress. Analyst Sentiment describes institutional stance.
Their differences are the point.
A disciplined investor does not ask nine models to repeat one verdict. The investor assigns each model a bounded job, verifies that its evidence is eligible, reads the result in its native form, and preserves disagreement long enough to learn from it.
That is how a collection of models becomes a structured analysis system rather than a scoreboard.
