The foundational dimensions the screener measures — profitability, growth, leverage, liquidity, and more — explained as structural properties of a business, not just numbers on a spreadsheet.
What each analysis dimension actually measures and why it matters for understanding a company as a system.
What These Articles Cover
Financial analysis produces numbers. But a number without context is meaningless — a profit margin of 15% means something very different for a software company than for a grocery chain. These articles explain what each dimension actually measures: not just the formula, but the structural property of the business it reveals.
Profitability describes how much value a company captures relative to its activity. Leverage describes how much of the business is funded by debt and what that implies about risk. Growth describes how the system is expanding and whether that expansion is sustainable. Each dimension is a different lens on the same underlying system.
How Dimensions Connect
No single dimension tells the full story. A company can be highly profitable and highly leveraged — the profitability looks strong, but the leverage creates fragility. A company can show rapid growth while its capital efficiency declines — the growth looks healthy, but the structure is weakening. These articles explain each dimension individually, but the real understanding comes from reading them together and seeing how the dimensions interact.
