## What is PhaseLens?

Most stock apps give you a price chart and a feed of opinions. PhaseLens gives you a verdict — and shows exactly how it was computed.

THE VERDICT CARD
Every ticker gets a deterministic classification: Value Stock, Value Trap, Growth Play, or Not a Value Play — with a confidence level, the reasoning, supporting evidence, and red flags. No black box: the signal drivers list every point added or subtracted.

LIFECYCLE PHASE
Companies behave by life stage. PhaseLens classifies each business as Growth, Mature, Pre-Revenue, or Decline from revenue trajectory, margin structure, and free-cash-flow yield — then judges it by the metrics that matter for that phase (Rule of 40 for growth, FCF yield and dividend coverage for mature).

FORENSICS — THE BUFFETT FIVE
Five balance-sheet checks with pass/fail status: ROIC, gross margin (pricing power), leverage, FCF yield, and EPS predictability — plus share-dilution tracking and cash-runway analysis that value screens usually miss.

STRUCTURAL MOAT
An AI lens rates each business Anti-fragile, Robust, or Fragile across cost-of-failure, revenue model, physical integration, and data gravity.

AND THE REST
• Fair-value estimates (EPV, FCF perpetuity, DCF) with a live discount-rate slider
• Peer comparison vs. industry medians and a 5-year P/E entry-context band
• Today's Radar: quality-screened market movers
• Five curated Lenses: Buffett Fortresses, Cash Machines, Growth Quality, Dividend, Undervalued
• Signal backtesting vs. buy-and-hold and SPY, with honest survivorship-bias warnings
• Local-only portfolio and watchlist — your holdings never leave your device

PhaseLens is an educational research tool — not a licensed financial advisor, broker, or consultant. Nothing in the app is financial advice. All outputs are automated, may be inaccurate or outdated, and every screen carries the compliance disclaimer. Do your own research.
