Investa-Gate scores stocks against a simple framework: can the company survive, is it growing, and is the price fair. Open any U.S.-listed stock and you get three scores — survival, growth, and valuation — with the full reasoning shown and the financials to check it against.
It's built for people who want their analysis to be legible — every score points back to a number, and every number points back to a source.
Most stock analysis ends up as a single rating. "Buy" doesn't tell you whether the call rests on the balance sheet, the growth story, or the price — or which of those is doing the heavy lifting. By scoring the three separately, you can see which gate is holding the stock up and which one might break first.
The framework runs on one principle: don't invent numbers to fill gaps. If something is missing, the model says so. If a value comes from outside the structured data feed, the source is shown. Adjustments to reported earnings are paired with the original number, never silently swapped in.
Open any ticker. Read the three gate scores. If they're bad, the breakdown shows which gate is failing and why. If they're good, the scores show what's holding it up — and the financials behind them let you check every one.
It's a diagnostic tool, not a recommendation engine, and not investment advice. The scores are an input to your decision, not the decision itself.
Investa-Gate was founded and built by Nick Kottraba, who designed the three-gate scoring framework and writes the weekly blog. More about Nick and how he works is on his author page.
The framework is under continuous calibration. Benchmarks and scoring rules are tested against the whole market, every day.
