What is a Research Candidate?
A Research Candidate is a stock that JaySense's quantitative engine has flagged as worth
investigating further — based on score, signal, and pattern data. It is a research starting
point, not a recommendation to invest.
What the label means
JaySense applies the Research Candidate label to stocks where:
- The JayScore is in the High Conviction or Moderate Conviction band (typically 60+).
- The research signal is Positive or Strong Positive.
- At least 5 of the 9 dimensions are aligned positively.
- No high-severity risk flags are active (e.g. earnings within 48 hours, regulatory action).
The label is generated nightly. It reflects the state of data at the time of computation — not real-time.
Research Candidate means
- The stock meets a quantitative research quality threshold
- Multiple independent data dimensions are in alignment
- It is worth spending time studying this stock in more detail
Research Candidate does NOT mean
- This stock will go up in price
- You should buy or sell it
- The stock is free from risk
- JaySense recommends it as an investment
SEBI context
JaySense is not registered with SEBI as an Investment Adviser. Under SEBI
(Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013, providing personalised investment advice for a fee
without registration is prohibited. JaySense does not provide personalised advice, specific

The Research Candidate label is a quantitative output of a data-driven engine. It is no different
in nature from a screener result — it identifies a set of stocks meeting defined criteria, not a
tailored recommendation for any individual.
How to use it responsibly
- Use Research Candidate flags as a shortlist for your own research — not as a final decision.
- Read the company's latest results, management commentary, and sector news.
- Assess whether the stock fits your investment horizon and risk tolerance.
- Consider consulting a SEBI-registered investment adviser for personalised guidance.
