Stop-or-go & red-flag scan

The seven hard exclusion criteria from step 2 to check off.

Check each criterion. Even a single tick is a reason to stop for now.

  • ☐Going-concern qualification — the auditor doubts the company can continue.
  • ☐Unexplained or repeated change of auditor.
  • ☐Repeated capital increases with no visible operational progress.
  • ☐Ongoing regulatory investigation or material lawsuit.
  • ☐Announced or looming delisting.
  • ☐Frequent turnover on the management or supervisory board.
  • ☐Clear mismatch between market cap and the real business.
Reading: One or more ticks → set aside for now, until the point is fully clarified.
