The framework

What is the KIRA Score?

An explainable 0–100 rating for an Indian stock, built from eight weighted components and screened by a risk layer called the Gatekeeper. It is a research signal, not a buy or sell recommendation.

Weights

The eight components

Weights follow Framework V1. Technicals are deliberately light — KIRA is built for a long-term view, and the only technical factor used is the 200-day exponential moving average.

ComponentWeightWhat it asks
Fundamentals25%Is the financial performance real and durable?
Business Quality20%Is this a good business, independent of its price?
Management20%Are the people running it aligned and capable?
Institutional (FII/DII)10%What is professional money doing?
Financial Strength10%Can the balance sheet absorb a shock?
Valuation5%What is already priced in?
Technicals5%Where is price relative to its long trend?
Risk5%What could go materially wrong?
Risk layer

The Gatekeeper

Before the weighted score is allowed to stand, the Gatekeeper screens for events that can override an otherwise healthy set of numbers. It reports as GREEN, AMBER or TIER 1 RED, with a qualifier naming what drove it.

  • Material news and events
  • Regulatory action (SEBI, RBI, sector regulators)
  • Promoter exits and stake changes
  • Block and bulk deals
  • Brokerage upgrades and downgrades
A TIER 1 RED means the flag matters more than the score. Som Distilleries scored 34.2 with a suspended plant licence — the Gatekeeper is why that report leads with the licence and not the multiple.

Provenance marks

Every published report marks where each figure came from, so you always know what is fact and what is judgement.
