Compare companies
Pick two to four companies and follow where each one ranked on ten years of fundamentals, at every archive anchor, as a share of every company we could rank at the time. Higher is better. The share matters rather than the place because the number of ranked companies grows over time, so the same place means something different at either end.

The share of observed periods in which revenue increased.
This is not a date range. It selects the ranking built on five, ten, or twenty years of published fundamentals.
Market position over time
Revenue Trend, ranked on ten years of fundamentals at each anchor. A gap is a year the company was not ranked, not a zero.
