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.
Healthy Trust: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 88th percentile of the scored universe and 85th percentile within IT. No major sub-score weakness stands out.
High Trust Lite: Promoter holding is 70%. Key concern: ROCE trend is -6.1%.
Generally investable credibility. Look for weak sub-scores before increasing position size.

How to read this Trust Score
Healthy 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 positives
- ▸Promoter holding is 70%.
- ▸Promoter pledge is zero.
- ▸FCF yield is positive at 0.9%.
- ▸7 years of positive FCF.
Trust risks
- ▸ROCE trend is -6.1%.
Trust Lite uses financial behaviour only. Prefer claim-tested Trust when enough concall claims have later outcomes.
