One read, four checks
75+ is strong, 60-74 is usable, 45-59 is mixed, and below 45 needs caution. These are research lenses, not buy/sell instructions.
Weak fundamentals, management trust needs verification, price trend argues for patience, and recent execution is weak.
Fundamental lens: valuation, quality, growth, balance sheet, and cash flow.
low confidence · 0/0 claims checked
Timing lens: price trend and sector relative strength.
Rolling lens: recent quarterly delivery, not the latest single-result score.

Trust score
Does management behaviour match later outcomes? Claim delivery, forensic breakdown, evidence depth
Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.
Weak Trust: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 3rd percentile of the scored universe and 2nd percentile within Industrials. Main check: financial discipline is weak at 22/100.
Mixed Trust Lite: Promoter holding is 72%. Key concern: Operating cash flow is negative at ₹-81 Cr.
Management or financial behaviour needs caution. Demand stronger valuation compensation.

How to read this Trust Score
Weak Trust · low confidenceRead Trust alongside U-Score, result consistency, and technical trend. A cheap stock with weak Trust needs a larger margin of safety; a high Trust score does not make an expensive stock attractive by itself.
Forensic breakdown
Read low sub-scores as due-diligence warnings, not automatic sell signals.

Trust risks
- ▸Operating cash flow is negative at ₹-81 Cr.
- ▸Debt/equity is 1.15.
