How to read this dossier

Direction

The score measures the polarity of qualified published news after relevance, source quality, event importance and freshness weighting. It is centred at 50.

Breadth

Breadth measures how widely constructive or cautious classifications are shared. A few extreme equities cannot create broad participation.

Confidence

Confidence measures sample depth, direct-company coverage, publisher diversity, freshness and agreement. It is intentionally separate from direction.

Market confirmation

Completed weekly price data tests whether the market confirms, rejects or absorbs the narrative. Price never feeds back into the sentiment score.

Coverage controls

Unqualified ticker records are excluded, and subgroup maps require at least five qualified securities. Thin slices are disclosed instead of ranked.

Interpretation

This is a current evidence classification, not a forecast, target, recommendation or measure of investor positioning.
