All three tenses have at least two readings, so the archetype blend applies as printed.
Of the nine metrics, 5 read as filed from the record and 4 are SI estimates, each with its reasoning, its confidence and what would change it on its card.

How has it treated the people who own it?
SI estimate 5.6/10, confidence 20 of 100 (family median).
SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed
From the record
SI estimate, not a filed reading: BT Brands, Inc.'s shareholder treatment is put at 5.6 of 10 with a confidence of 20 of 100, because fewer than two of the parts can be read: the share count over the years, and the cash returned against a positive operating cash flow or net income, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 38 members with one. Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
What are they doing right now?
Is it financially healthy right now?
SI estimate 4.5/10, confidence 20 of 100 (family median).
SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed
From the record
SI estimate, not a filed reading: BT Brands, Inc.'s financial health is put at 4.5 of 10 with a confidence of 20 of 100, because fewer than two of the four checks can be read, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 42 members with one. Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
How strong is its position in its industry?
bottom 26% of 43 in its family; net margin -15.6%.
From the record
BT Brands, Inc.'s standing among 43 graded names in its industry family: revenue of $15 million in fiscal 2024 ranks in the bottom 6% by size; a net margin of -15.6% ranks in the bottom 13%; revenue growth of 8.5% a year over the last 3 filed years ranks in the top 41% (its annual reports).
What it rests on
A production reading, recomputed from the filings on every data build, read from EDGAR Nov 13, 2026.
What are the people in charge doing?
SI estimate 5.0/10, confidence 20 of 100 (family median).
SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed
From the record
SI estimate, not a filed reading: BT Brands, Inc.'s leadership is put at 5.0 of 10 with a confidence of 20 of 100, because no officer or director has filed a Form 3, 4 or 5 for it in the last fifteen months, so the years in charge cannot be read, so the desk assumes the typical reading of its industry family, the median of 34 members with one. Its next annual report on file with the inputs replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
What are they set up to do next?
How much room does it have to grow?
SI estimate 6.0/10, confidence 35 of 100 (one part).
SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed
From the record
SI estimate, not a filed reading: BT Brands, Inc.'s room to expand is put at 6.0 of 10 with a confidence of 35 of 100, because read from one part only, cash less debt against assets, which ranks in the top 40% of 43 in its family; the record does not carry two of the four parts: cash less debt against assets, cash from operations less capital spending against revenue, gross margin, research against revenue. A filing that carries the missing parts replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
What could actually drive growth from here?
top 47% of 42 in its family for growth drivers.
From the record
BT Brands, Inc.'s growth drivers, from the filed years to fiscal 2024: revenue grew 8.5% a year over the last three filed years against 13.2% over all 8, slowing (bottom 15% of its family); the newest year grew 5.3% (top 49%); capital spending grew 33.6% a year (top 8%) (its annual reports). BT Brands, Inc. tags no split of its revenue by line in the annual report on file, so growth by line cannot be read here; research and capital spending are on the trend.
What it rests on
A production reading, recomputed from the filings on every data build, read from EDGAR Nov 13, 2026.
Did its newest year beat what its own record pointed to?
bottom 23% of 39 in its family for expectations against reality.
From the record
BT Brands, Inc.'s newest year against its own record: revenue of $15 million in fiscal 2024 came in 5.8% below the $16 million its prior three years' pace pointed to (bottom 35% of its family); net income of $2 million against a prior three-year average of $779 thousand (bottom 14%); a net margin of -15.6% against -5.7% before (bottom 19%) (its annual reports).
