The 9 Score Dimensions Explained

JaySense evaluates every NSE stock across 9 independent research dimensions. Each is scored 0–100 and combined into the overall JayScore. Understanding what each dimension measures helps you interpret why a stock scores the way it does.


1. Trend
Measures the direction and strength of the stock's price trend using moving averages, slope analysis, and higher-high/higher-low structure over multiple timeframes (20-day, 50-day, 200-day). A strong uptrend scores high; a downtrend or sideways chop scores low. This is the highest-weighted dimension in the JayScore.
2. Momentum
Captures how quickly price is moving relative to its recent history using RSI, Rate of Change, and StochasticRSI. Strong momentum means the stock is accelerating — prices are rising faster than their recent average. Overbought conditions reduce the score even in uptrends.
3. Volume
Compares current trading volume to its 20-day average. Price moves backed by above-average volume are more significant than those on thin volume. The dimension also checks for volume divergence — rising price on falling volume is a cautionary flag.
4. Valuation
Looks at P/E ratio, P/B ratio, and EV/EBITDA relative to the stock's own historical range and to its sector median. A stock trading at a significant premium to both history and sector peers scores lower on this dimension. Valuation is longer-term in nature and carries lower weight in the composite score.
5. Growth
Evaluates revenue growth, earnings growth, and EPS trajectory from quarterly results. Consistent and accelerating growth scores higher. Declining revenue or contracting margins reduce the score even if the stock's price trend is positive.
6. Sector
Assesses the health of the stock's sector — whether the sector as a whole is in a Bull, Neutral, or Bear regime. A strong sector tailwind lifts the dimension score; a weak sector is a headwind even for a fundamentally sound individual stock. Sector regimes are determined from sector index data and FII flow trends.
7. Risk
Quantifies downside risk through volatility (ATR, Beta), proximity to 52-week lows, and upcoming event risk (earnings, corporate actions). High volatility or a stock near a key support breakdown lowers the Risk dimension score. This dimension is inverted — lower risk earns a higher sub-score.
8. Institutional
Tracks FII and DII buying and selling over the last 30 days. Sustained institutional buying increases the score; consistent selling reduces it. This dimension captures the behaviour of informed, large-capital market participants — a useful confirming or warning signal.
9. Fundamentals
Reviews promoter holding percentage, debt-to-equity ratio, return on equity, and dividend consistency. Strong promoter holding, low leverage, and consistent ROE score higher. This is the most backward-looking dimension and carries lower weight in the composite score.
