Question 1

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Moatscope is a research and education tool. Nothing on the site is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold a security, and no output includes a price target of our own or a position-size suggestion.

Question 2

How are the scores computed?

Accepted Answer

An LLM scores four of the five dimensions against a fixed rubric and writes the reasoning. The fifth — Still Under the Radar — is a computed number from analyst count, institutional ownership, and 30-day news volume. Prices, fundamentals, and analyst targets come from market data, not the model.

Question 3

What does the free tier include?

Accepted Answer

Three fresh lookups a day, unlimited access to cached scores, a personal watchlist, and every part of the results screen for scored tickers. Portfolio Fit, the Portfolio-Adjusted score, and Compare Candidates require Pro.

Question 4

Can I cancel Pro anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Manage or cancel from the Account screen. Cancellation is immediate; access continues through the end of the period you already paid for.

Question 5

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Prices, 52-week ranges, analyst consensus, and fundamentals are pulled from Yahoo Finance, with Financial Modeling Prep as a fallback. Cached in the database for seven days.
