Replace the four-cell quarter tape (too many equally-weighted numbers) with one
comparison rail per metric, so the panel answers "improving? sound? fairly
valued?" instead of asking the reader to decode it.
- Operating trend (revenue/EPS growth, operating/FCF margin, share count): a rail
centered on a truthful reference — prior quarter (growth), prior-period average
(margins), or zero (share count) — with a dot at the current delta and a bar
back to the reference, plus a shaded neutral band (backend's +-2pp / +-1pp /
+-1% rules). Value, read, reference label, and signed delta stay visible;
per-quarter history drops out of the default view.
- Valuation & balance (net debt/EBITDA, P/E, FCF yield): a 0-100 favorable-
percentile rail with the peer median fixed at 50; right is always more
favorable (percentile is polarity-aware). median + peer_count shown.
- Not a progress bar: reference line, not a 100% target.
- Horizon tokens: cyan #6EC9DB favorable / coral #EF9182 adverse / #5D6373 track,
replacing emerald/rose. Two columns on desktop, single column (rows stack) on
mobile. Null -> n/a with no rail; insufficient peers -> "peers n/a", no track.
- Kept: compact earnings line, provenance footer, local-date parsing, aria-labels
on every rail. tsc -b passes.
