FGQGrowth Quality

Composite financial growth quality for {legal_name}. EXTRACTION RULES: return type="composite_signal" with sub-signals, each 0-100 + source_url. Required: (a) revenue_growth_cagr_5y — 0-100 from 5y revenue CAGR vs sector reference (Damodaran sector tables) — within ±2pp = 65, beating sector by 5+pp = 85, lagging by 5+pp = 35; (b) profitability_trend_5y — 0-100 from 5y ROIC + ROE stability + improvement; (c) margin_stability — 0-100 from operating margin coefficient-of-variation last 8 quarters (low CV<10% = 90, 10-20% = 70, 20-30% = 50, 30%+ = 30); (d) cash_conversion — 0-100 from FCF/Net Income consistency (Finbox / ValueSense series; >100% sustained = 90, 80-100% = 75, 50-80% = 55, <50% = 30). Sources (country-agnostic): any AUDITED regulator filing of the company's jurisdiction — SEC 10-K (CIK), but equally EU Bundesanzeiger/Companies House/INFOGREFFE annual accounts, EDINET, SEDAR, etc. — plus StockAnalysis, Macrotrends, GuruFocus, Finbox where they reproduce those primary figures. PUBLIC/AUDITED-FILER GATE (mandatory, CLAUDE.md #1/#5): these sub-signals (5y revenue CAGR, ROIC/ROE series, 8-quarter operating-margin CV, FCF/Net-Income) require multi-year AUDITED financial statements. If {legal_name} is private / does not file audited financials (and no reputable third party publishes a full multi-year series for it), return type="absent" reason="not_disclosed" — do NOT fabricate a CAGR or margin sub-signal from a stray single third-party revenue estimate, and do NOT fill floors to satisfy a minimum count. The server reclassifies this absence to not_applicable. Server applies composite_signal_score.
