Curious to see if one could reasonably implement this in GTR1.

As I recall, many such screens usually behave differently because of the quirks of the way VL calculates ROE. The "Return on Shareholders Equity" field is calculated only annually, and I think they might have some adjustments to remove extraordinary items?? That's not to say it would be better or worse, just somewhat different.
