Methodology

How Gunpowder scores filings

Gunpowder reads primary regulatory filings — NSE and BSE corporate announcements, SEBI disclosures, MCA-21/ROC filings, RBI circulars, and NCLT orders — and turns each one into a structured, ranked summary. Every published digest is built from the same pipeline and the same scoring definitions, explained below.

How a digest is produced

Each digest covers one stream — an exchange, regulator, index, or sector — over one period, usually a single IST trading day. The pipeline runs in four stages:

  1. Ingest. New filings are pulled from the exchange or regulator within minutes of publication.
  2. Analyze. Frontier AI models tuned for Indian regulatory documents read each filing in full and extract a summary, key points, sentiment, and a materiality score.
  3. Rank. Filings are sorted into priority tiers and rolled up into investment signals, risk flags, opportunities, sector themes, and a watch list.
  4. Publish. The digest is published here and pushed to subscribers. Every analysis links back to the unmodified source filing on NSE / BSE / SEBI / MCA.

What the scores mean

Materiality score (0–10)

Materiality estimates how much a single filing could matter to investors in the issuing company. A score of 0–3 marks routine or administrative filings, 4–6 marks notable but expected disclosures, and 7–10 marks high-impact events — major earnings surprises, mergers and acquisitions, board changes, fundraising, or regulatory enforcement.

Sentiment

Sentiment captures the likely market reading of a filing: positive, negative, or mixed when a filing carries both supportive and cautionary signals (for example, record revenue alongside margin compression).

Strength

Strength expresses how much conviction sits behind an investment signal — how clearly the underlying filings point in one direction. A high-strength bullish signal is backed by multiple corroborating, high-materiality filings; a low-strength signal is more tentative.

Priority tiers

Within a digest, every filing is bucketed as high, medium, or low priority, driven mainly by materiality. The priority breakdown at the top of each digest is the count of filings in each tier.

What’s in each filing analysis

Each analyzed filing carries:

Sourcing and limits

Every analysis is generated from the primary filing as published by the exchange or regulator, and every digest links to that unmodified source so you can verify the original text. Our coverage spans Indian markets — NSE and BSE listed companies, and the SEBI, RBI, MCA, and NCLT regulators.

AI-generated summaries are a starting point for research, not investment advice. They can miss context or misread nuance — always confirm against the source filing before acting.
