How to read this. Colour scale runs bright-green at 65+ to bright-red below 35 across every row. A ticker with mostly green cells and a bullish pattern is a coherent long thesis; mostly red with a bearish pattern is a coherent short. Mixed colour rows suggest factor disagreement — cross-check against the pattern library to see which setup the composite resolved to. Short interest is colour-inverted (high score = low actual SI, shown green because absence of crowded shorts is bullish).
