Best KR Stocks by Quality
Quality-ranked companies in the kr book. Ranking comes from the same dated rule-based checklist applied to every company in the book — identical questions, identical order, fully auditable via the Quality Index dataset. Quality grades the business, never the price.

Methodology
Every company in the book passes through the same rule-based Berkshire-style checklist (0-100): earnings consistency, balance-sheet strength, cash conversion, and value-trap patterns. The score grades the business, never the price — a 95 at the wrong price is still a bad trade. Scores are computed per scan cycle; every row in the downloadable dataset carries its own scan date and source. CC BY 4.0 with attribution.
