Bina Print FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the framework
Implementation details, boundary behavior, and practical usage guidance for the Bina Print map.
Is BinaPrint a buy or sell rating? +
No. BinaPrint is a classification system describing company character and current execution context. It helps investors match companies to their own risk and style preferences.
How often can a company change type? +
BinaPrint can change whenever underlying factor signals shift. Movement is a feature, not a bug, because transitions tell a company story over time.
Why are scores industry-relative? +
Industry-relative scoring avoids unfair comparisons across structurally different sectors and improves interpretability for real portfolio decisions.
What is the difference between Style and Fitness? +
Style captures growth orientation versus value/income orientation (Harvest vs Build). Fitness measures how well the company is executing right now (Stressed vs Strong).
What are the 9 BinaPrint types? +
The 3x3 grid produces 9 types: Vault, Anchor, and Summit (Strong fitness); Yield, Steady, and Venture (Mixed fitness); Rift, Flux, and Flash (Stressed fitness). Style runs from Harvest (left) through Blend (center) to Build (right).
What are the safety caps for Fitness? +
Piotroski F-Score below 3 caps Fitness at 33. Altman Z-Score below 1.8 caps at 40. Persistent losses with rising debt cap at 45. Interest coverage below 1.5 caps at 40.
What is a boundary note? +
When a score is within 5 points of any grid boundary (33 or 66 on either axis), the company is flagged as a boundary case that may reclassify with modest factor changes.
Can BinaPrint help beginners? +
Yes. The vocabulary is intentionally plain-language so beginners can reason about risk, growth, and quality without needing factor-model jargon.
How does this connect to company and industry analysis pages? +
BinaPrint is the base layer for the analysis pipeline. Company and industry pages use the same map, scores, and transition language to keep interpretation consistent.
