  • Durability 0 / 20

  • Cash conversion 12 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 10 of 10 years, at a median 3.6% of revenue.

  • Discipline 13 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 11.2% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 0.8% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: High. In this industry, the core product is information work that AI systems increasingly perform. The score above includes a 15-point deduction for that exposure (41 before it).

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
