Key Screener uses a modular, high-density layout where signals are grouped by decision category rather than data source. This aligns with how traders scan markets — focusing on meaning, not origin.

Dark mode is the default — not for style, but for clarity. High-density dashboards are easier to parse when light isn’t competing with signal.
