25,000+ companies, 130+ accounting distortions removed, updated monthly.
Put as-reported valuation on one axis and Uniform valuation on the other, and the market splits into four groups: genuine bargain, hidden quality, value trap, priced for perfection. A conventional screener sees only the first axis, so it misses hidden quality and picks value traps by mistake.
The defaults test quality with Uniform ROA and cash conversion, and price with Uniform P/E against implied expectations. They match the tests behind the FA Alpha 50, and you can adjust every filter.
Set your filters on the cleaned-up metrics. Every result shows both versions of each number, and a verdict on what the gap between them means.
You run screens on Uniform metrics and see the as-reported numbers beside them, with a verdict on what the gap between them means. The free trial shows a limited result set. Members see full company names, the complete Uniform metric set and exports.

A framework of more than 130 adjustments that adjusts as-reported financial statements onto one comparable basis: removing goodwill from the capital base, putting leases back on the balance sheet, capitalizing the investment GAAP expenses, and treating recurring “one-time” items as the operating costs they are. Our Knowledge Base page on why GAAP earnings distort profitability explains each adjustment.
