Every growth trigger analysis produces a list. "Operating leverage kicking in as utilisation crosses 75%." "New plant coming online in Q2 FY27." "Export market entry — early-stage pipeline." "Premiumisation of product mix per management guidance." "Adjacent market opportunity identified in tier-2 cities."
Read that list and you have five things that could drive the stock. But you do not know which of them are already happening in the numbers, which are dependent on management delivering on stated plans, and which are unpriced possibilities that consensus has not modelled. Without that distinction, the trigger list is not analytical — it is a collection of stories.
The v2.16.0 upgrade to the Growth Triggers section addresses this directly. Every trigger now carries a conviction tag that tells you the evidentiary standard behind it. And the section closes with a Trigger Scoreboard that reduces the full catalyst picture to three numbers: Dominant Theme, Trigger Density, and Re-Rating Probability.
Each growth trigger in the analysis is assigned exactly one of three tags, determined by the quality and source of the evidence behind it:
Consider the same five triggers from the introduction, now tagged:
| Trigger | Tag | Evidence basis | Model treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating leverage kicking in as utilisation crosses 75% | 🔵 VISIBLE | Utilisation rate in Q3 FY26 concall: 76%. OPM expanded 180bps YoY in last 2 quarters. | Base case — model continued OPM expansion through FY27 |
| New plant coming online in Q2 FY27 | 🟡 GUIDED | Management stated commissioning target in Q2 FY26 earnings call. Capex disbursements on track per balance sheet. | Base case with 1-quarter delay buffer given Capex/Project track record |
| Export market entry — early-stage pipeline | 🟡 GUIDED | Management mentioned export conversations in Q3 FY26 call but no specific targets or timelines given. | Bull case only — weak guidance without specific commitment |
| Premiumisation of product mix per management guidance | 🔵 VISIBLE | ASP has risen 8% over 4 quarters in the Quarterly P&L data. Realisation per unit visible in segment reporting. | Base case — trend already established in actuals |
| Adjacent market opportunity in tier-2 cities | 🟢 OPTIONALITY | Structural case is sound given product-market fit in tier-1. Not guided. Not in any analyst model reviewed. | Bull case only — unpriced but structurally credible |
With tags, the five-item list becomes two base case drivers (both already in the numbers), two bull case items (one with weak guidance, one structural optionality), and one guided trigger requiring a delay buffer. That is a usable analytical framework. Without tags, it is noise.
The Growth Triggers section now closes with a Trigger Scoreboard — a summary that distils the complete catalyst picture into three outputs:
| Scoreboard item | What it is | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Dominant Theme | The single overarching growth driver that ties together the largest cluster of triggers | This is the investment thesis in one phrase. If you can only hold one thing in your head about why this stock could re-rate, this is it. |
| Trigger Density | The count and quality mix of triggers: how many VISIBLE, GUIDED, OPTIONALITY, and whether they are concentrated or spread across independent drivers | High density with mostly VISIBLE tags = momentum play with multiple confirmed drivers. Low density with mostly OPTIONALITY = speculative; the re-rating depends on unpriced scenarios materialising. |
| Re-Rating Probability | An assessed probability that the stock will attract a higher valuation multiple within the next 12 months, given the current trigger mix | This is a qualitative probability (Low / Medium / High / Very High), not a quantitative prediction. It is based on the trigger density, tag quality, and whether the Dominant Theme is visible to the market or still unrecognised. |
Here is what the Trigger Scoreboard looks like in practice for the illustrative manufacturing company used above:
The Scoreboard is the section you cite in an investment note. Instead of listing all five triggers individually, you lead with: "Dominant Theme: Margin Re-Expansion Cycle. Two VISIBLE triggers already in the numbers; new capacity on a guided timeline. Re-Rating Probability: High." Then you reference the detailed trigger table for the evidence.
The Growth Triggers conviction framework appears within the Deep Research template (Template 5 on Screener.in). This is the template that instructs the AI to browse and read the actual BSE PDF documents — concall transcripts, investor presentations, annual reports. The conviction tags are only as good as the evidence the AI can read in those documents.
This is why the template strongly recommends Gemini Deep Research as the primary AI platform for Deep Research runs. Gemini's document browsing capability is the best available for reading 12+ quarterly documents, extracting guidance items, and cross-referencing them against reported financials. Claude is the second choice — excellent at structured output and evidence citation, strong document browsing in projects.
The conviction framework becomes more powerful when combined with the Management Credibility archetype from Template 3. The intersection of the two gives you the full picture:
| Trigger tag | + Credibility archetype | = Investment treatment |
|---|---|---|
| 🔵 VISIBLE | Any archetype | Base case regardless — it is already in the numbers. Archetype irrelevant here. |
| 🟡 GUIDED | Conservative Promiser or Reliable Executor | Model in base case. High probability of delivery. |
| 🟡 GUIDED | Optimistic Narrator | Model in base case with delay buffer or haircut. Apply to Bull case if strategic category. |
| 🟡 GUIDED | Erratic | Bull case only. Do not anchor the base case to management's stated timeline. |
| 🟢 OPTIONALITY | Any archetype | Bull case always. The upside case if the trigger materialises. Size position accordingly. |
