Professional model development and validation
How the Qualtix stock research model was built and validated
Qualtix scores any US stock with SEC filings using FMP fundamental data. The model uses a fixed Russell 1000 baseline universe, point-in-time filing controls, and SPY benchmark comparisons.
The live Qualtix model is implemented as a deterministic scoring workflow. It separates business quality, valuation, entry timing, red flags, and data confidence before presenting a verdict.

Data The Model Uses
- SEC filing-based fundamentals accessed through FMP where supported.
- Company profile fields such as market capitalization when available.
- Market price, momentum, benchmark, and sector context used for timing and risk checks.
- Data quality controls for filing lag, share-count drift, missing metrics, and extreme market-data anomalies.
How Scores Are Produced
- Business quality is evaluated separately from valuation so a strong company is not automatically treated as an attractive setup.
- Entry timing is evaluated separately from both quality and valuation because price action can change faster than fundamentals.
- Red-flag and exclusion checks can prevent a superficially attractive stock from receiving a clean verdict.
- The displayed score is the model output shown to users; AI explanation is downstream of that score.
What The Model Does Not Know
- It does not predict unexpected news, future management decisions, litigation, regulatory shocks, or sudden macro events.
- It cannot guarantee that strong business quality will produce strong stock returns.
- It cannot know whether an elevated valuation will normalize quickly or remain elevated for a long time.
- Its output can change when price, fundamentals, filings, or data quality change.
