Why "classic": steep depth (Amber threshold and above) + a fresh peak (within the 120-day window used in the Red List recency clause). Stocks that match only one of those — for example deep declines from a stale peak, or shallow declines from a recent peak — are excluded here. See the methodology for the full ruleset.
