Rules over the stated numbers only — CAGRs need positive start and end values, margins use the company's own OPM line, cash conversion is cumulative operating cash flow over cumulative profit for the last three fiscal years. Scores are 0–5 rule outputs, not a recommendation. Source: Tijori Finance normalised statements; Buoyant's own estimates are shown separately below and never blended in.
