| Checkpoint | Current evidence | What to verify next |
|---|---|---|
| CMGalaxy New Logos | 12 new logos onboarded. | Aim to onboard up to 100 logos this financial year. |

Verification checkpoints are IndiaPulse research interpretation, not investment advice.
Trust asks: does management behaviour match later outcomes? Higher is better, but confidence and evidence depth matter as much as the number.
Limited evidence: Claim history is still being built. It ranks around the 95th percentile of the scored universe and 100th percentile within Media. No major sub-score weakness stands out.
This is a financial-behaviour screen, not a claim-tested management reliability verdict.
Financial behaviour is scored, but management claims do not yet have enough outcome checks.
overall median 67 · Media: 100th pctile, median 63 · SME: 99th pctile, median 64
8 documents have extracted text, but claim history is not strong enough yet.
0 claims extracted · No contradicted claim yet
Read 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.
Read low sub-scores as due-diligence warnings, not automatic sell signals.
Trust Lite uses financial behaviour only. Prefer claim-tested Trust when enough concall claims have later outcomes.
