4. Scorecard — how earlier picks did

Too early to judge: picks are scored on the session after each briefing, so the first results appear after the next run.

Risks & caveats for this briefing

Close-to-close data only: no volume, intraday levels, news or earnings dates are considered.
Screens are rule-based on recent momentum and relative strength; they do not predict the next session.
Overlapping sector indices (Bank / Pvt Bank / PSU Bank / Fin Service) are not independent signals.
