Methodology & criteria
The dark mirror image of Best of All: only stocks that trigger ALL four warning signals at once make this list. First, the cash is running low — the operating business is burning money and, at the current burn rate, the cash on hand would last less than four quarters (the criteria from the Insolvency Radar). Second, Altman's bankruptcy early-warning signal fires permanently: the Z″-Score is in the distress zone (below 1.1) in every available quarter, combined with weak interest coverage. Third, the business model is under threat from AI — the company-specific AI classification, backed by SEC filings, is rated "Threatened". And fourth, a published TickerGuard analysis stands on a red light — substance risk, meaning at least one documented finding that endangers the company itself. This fourfold check is deliberately extremely strict — the list is empty on many days, and that's exactly the point: anyone who shows up here has earned four independent red flags at once. Even so, a hit is neither a bankruptcy verdict nor a recommendation to sell short. Source: fundamental data & SEC filings (annual and quarterly reports, 10-K/10-Q).
Global filters: market cap of $50B or less (mega caps are cut from every scanner); 10- and 30-day ADR must be ≥ 1% (too little movement gets cut); fundamentally healthy names (Piotroski ≥ 5 or Fundamental Rating ≥ 55 out of 100) are excluded.

This scanner deliberately hunts for red flags — a hit is a finding, not a recommendation: like a smoke detector that beeps so you look in time. A hit is also not a bankruptcy verdict; most companies save themselves (say, through a capital raise, which dilutes existing shareholders). Portfolio owners use the list as an early-warning system, bargain hunters as an anti-shopping list, experienced traders as a watch list — it is never a buy or short recommendation.
