Factor attribution
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 93rd percentile of the scored universe and 85th percentile within Auto. No major sub-score weakness stands out.
High Trust Lite: Promoter pledge is zero.
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.

- ▸6 years of positive FCF.
- ▸ROCE is 25.9%.
