No price input

Volatility, missing-data, valuation, and balance-sheet brakes are applied to the setup.

Consensus: 4.12 (Buy) · Signal: 3.04 (Balanced watch) · gap -1.08 on the 1-5 scale

Dispersion reliability: usable. If consensus is split, a small gap is still meaningful, while a wide gap usually means framing differences.

TECHi Signal is more cautious than consensus.

TECHi Signal can diverge from consensus on 3M+ horizons because it blends financial data, governance signals, leadership quality, and quant scores (Altman Z, ROIC, Rule of 40, FCF yield) alongside standard analyst inputs.
