How to read these bars and different assessments
Council is a separate blend of available disciplines; MoonshotScore above remains the five-pillar research rating.
Bars show each model's ordered assessment on its own scale, not a probability or a comparable investment return. The adjacent words give the assessment; more filled segments indicate a stronger model reading.
Two of these lenses read this company less favourably than the MoonshotScore does: Griffin-style lens and Klarman-style lens. Each lens is a separate scoring function over its own inputs, so a disagreement is a difference of method rather than a correction — the page's answer stays the MoonshotScore above.
The Munger lens reads the current price as undervalued against its own estimate of value.

Sources — where every figure on this page comes from (15 dated figures)
The 15 rows below are exactly the facts the dated sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Every figure in those sections is stored with the date it is true for and the source it came from, and derived figures restate their arithmetic. The quarterly income statement is reprinted as filed under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 1-9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. Where a cached provider read carries no stamp of its own, the as-of is this page's own content date and the source column says so.
