Which companies to pursue, and why — on one page

Position on the 2x2 is derived from the scorecard — the workbook defines no axes, so this view derives and labels them: ease of entry = mean(pathway, eligibility); value to pursue = mean(scale, actionability). Move a criterion and the dot moves. Gates and caps fire above the band; overrides carry their written reason and revert condition.
