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 95th percentile of the scored universe and 98th percentile within Services. No major sub-score weakness stands out.
High Trust Lite: Promoter holding is 70.4%. Key concern: ROCE trend is -2%.
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.
