03 · Prism readout

What the signals say—and what they do not

The headline share is normalized personal services news attention across these five names. Partial community coverage and U.S.-scope patent records are displayed separately and are not blended into it.

Scale + attention

Yelp leads the conversation

It holds 64.1% of measured personal services news attention and also carries the basket's largest revenue base at $1.47B.

Price path

H&R Block leads the available price paths

Its monthly-close return is +104.7% for the five-year window. At the other end, Regis is -75.1% for its five-year window. Windows printed on each card must be compared carefully; price history is not a forecast.

Profitability

H&R Block has the widest latest margin

Its FY2025 net margin is 16.1%. Its revenue history in this snapshot spans only the periods printed on its card, so longer histories are not treated as equivalent.

Price vs operating signals

Regis shows why one ratio is not a verdict

It has the basket's lowest snapshot P/E at 0.6x while its five-year window price return is -75.1%. Valuation, price path and readiness answer different questions.

Anomalies

Service Corporation International has the widest attention-readiness rank gap

It ranks #5 by measured news attention (1.1%) and #2 by Prism readiness. The gap is a review flag, not evidence that either measure is wrong.

Open Service Corporation International in Companies Radar

Yelp shows a price-operating divergence to inspect

Its displayed filing-revenue change is +42.0% while its available monthly-close return is -41.5%. The signs differ, but the two measures cover different windows and do not establish causality.

Open Yelp in Companies Radar

Explanations

Attention measures coverage volume, not quality

Yelp's 64.1% share says it appears most often in the matched Prism corpus. It does not score whether that coverage is favourable or whether the company is investable.

Open Yelp in Companies Radar

Different windows explain why signals can disagree

Revenue comes from the printed filing periods, price paths use the dated monthly-close windows, and Prism signals use their stated event windows. No causal attribution is made across them.

Research decisions

Verify the readiness leader in Companies Radar

Open Yelp's company profile and inspect the underlying management, market-activity, innovation and risk evidence before relying on the 49/100 score.

Stress-test the largest divergence before forming a view

Compare Yelp's profile with H&R Block's profile, then reconcile the displayed filing and price windows. This is a next-research action, not a buy or sell decision.
