User problem
Most scans focus on opportunity first, but a weak risk profile can make an otherwise interesting ticker harder to trust.

What QSB checks
The scan is designed to keep the current setup, visible risk, broader market context, and chase risk in the same view.
Setup quality
Is the ticker showing enough structure to deserve more research?
Downside risk
What visible pressure or fragility should be checked before acting?
Market context
Does the broader backdrop support or fight the ticker setup?
Chase risk
Has the move already stretched enough to make the first read more cautious?
Plain-English scan
A research-only read without buy/sell recommendations or broker execution.
Research habit
A good company is not always a good entry
QSB is built for the moment before a ticker becomes emotional. A strong story can still carry weak setup quality, elevated downside risk, poor market context, or stretched chase risk.
