Library & Vote
Each headline measures a different thing. We show you what.
RAOSCAFF is research-grade decision intelligence across markets, sectors, jurisdictions, and policy regimes. We read published industry data against what each publisher actually measured, and trace every figure to its source. Predict-not-recommend voice. Defamation-disciplined. The library is bounded by the world’s disclosures — never by ours.
RAOSCAFF sets the editorial agenda; the vote is a reader signal we weigh, not a poll that decides — and the count stays quiet by design.

India's Rs 15.74 Lakh Crore AIF Industry — What the Headline Conceals
SEBI's published AIF commitments headline is Rs 15.74 lakh crore as of December 2025. Decomposed by funnel stage and category: only 41% is deployed into investments, one category (Cat II) holds 74% of all commitments, and the blended 41% deployment rate hides two structurally opposite category behaviours.

India's Power Distribution Losses — What 15.04% Conceals
India's electricity distributors lost 15.04% of all units to AT&C leakage in FY25 per the MoP Integrated Rating. That national mean is a weighted average of a 16.15-point state spread (RAOSCAFF arithmetic) from Kerala 6.61% to Madhya Pradesh 22.76%, two economically distinct failure modes, and three publishers reporting three different correct values for the same concept.

The Listed-Market Top Decile — What 'Rs 472.1 Lakh Crore' Conceals
The NSE reported total listed market capitalisation of Rs 472.1 lakh crore as of 30 November 2025. Rank the exchange's 2,904 companies into deciles and the top 10% hold 82.4% of the total while the bottom 50% hold just 0.90% — a hidden-cohort chasm inside one aggregate number.

The Auto Retail Gap — What One Month's 'PV Growth' Conceals
In April 2026 SIAM reported India passenger-vehicle wholesale dispatches up +25.4% (437,312 units) while FADA reported retail registrations up +12.21% (407,355 units) — a 13.2-percentage-point gap for the same category and month. SIAM counts factory-gate dispatches into the dealer channel; FADA counts registrations out to end-buyers. Two different defined quantities measuring one market.

The Pre-Sales-to-Collections Bridge — Four Listed Developers' Own FY26 Disclosures, Side by Side
Listed developers reported record FY26 pre-sales — a booking number. Whether the cash arrived (collections) and where net debt sits are separate, separately-filed questions. M-21 places DLF, Macrotech (Lodha), Godrej, and Sobha's own three numbers on one sheet; collections-to-pre-sales conversion ranges 58% to 96%. It ranks nothing — it builds the bridge. Series close.

Decomposing Pre-Sales — Why a Developer Booking and a State Registration Are Two Different Numbers
A home sale is two events: the developer counts the booking (pre-sales), the State counts the registration (conveyance). Listed developers reported record FY26 pre-sales; Maharashtra's IGR recorded 1,50,254 Mumbai registrations in CY 2025, a 14-year high. The two records count different events, in different units, over different geographies — and cannot be netted into a single gap.

The Warehouse Tenant Concentration — Decomposing India's Grade-A Industrial Leasing by Tenant Category
India's warehousing posted record 2025 absorption — Knight Frank 72.5 mn sq ft, CBRE 36.9 mn, Colliers 11 mn in Q1 2026. Decomposed by tenant category, three categories — third-party logistics, e-commerce, and manufacturing — take roughly two-thirds to three-quarters of all Grade-A leasing. The concentration is buried in the single national absorption number.

The REIT Distribution Mirage — Decomposing Indian Office-REIT FY26 Growth by NOI vs DPU
Every listed Indian REIT — Embassy, Mindspace, Brookfield India, Nexus Select — published an FY26 net-operating-income growth headline and a slower distribution-per-unit number. Brookfield's +52% Q4 NOI against +11% FY26 DPU is the widest gap — acquisition arithmetic, not payout engineering. The four REITs' own Q4 FY26 disclosures are the anchor.

The Mortgage K-Curve — Decomposing India's Home-Loan Growth by Ticket vs Volume
RBI says housing loans grew 11.1%; CRIF says portfolio value grew 10.5% while volume grew 4.1%; SBI retail +17%, Bajaj Housing +23%. Nine readings across six measurement universes. The K-curve becomes legible only when value and volume are isolated to the same publisher — CRIF Q3 FY26 — where value grows 2.5× faster than volume.

Decomposing the One Crore Plus — India Residential CY 2025 by Publisher-Definition Divergence
Knight Frank says premium housing crossed 50% of CY 2025 sales; CREDAI–Liases Foras says ₹1Cr+ is 78% of value; ANAROCK says the premium band is 52% of new supply. All three are factually correct — the divergence is publisher definitions: units vs value vs supply, different city sets, different rupee thresholds. Knight Frank India H2 2025 is the anchor.
