Step 1) Get access (beta)

During beta, the terminal is invite-only. Join the waitlist and we’ll send access instructions. If you already have a code, use the access page.

Step 2) Learn what the compliance signal means

Before using any “compliance label,” understand the two big components: business activity screening and financial ratio screening. Different methodologies can disagree because denominators and thresholds differ.

Step 3) Use the “professional workflow”

The goal is to reduce tool-switching. A simple baseline workflow:

  1. Search a symbol.
  2. Verify compliance and read the reasons/ratios.
  3. Compare alternatives if it’s questionable or close to thresholds.
  4. Save candidates to a watchlist for follow-up.

Step 4) Set up portfolio basics

If you want portfolio-level compliance and purification awareness, create a portfolio, add a few positions, and scan. Keep it simple: start with one portfolio per goal (long-term vs trading).

Common issues
  • A symbol shows “questionable”: treat this as “review required”; check the reasons and read methodology.
  • A result disagrees with another tool: compare denominators (assets vs market cap) and data freshness.
  • You want to report an error: use the feedback widget with the symbol and supporting links.
