HCL's positive acquisition (7/10 materiality) contrasts negative fines/pledges, highlighting large-cap resilience

Camlin corrigendum + director profiles (DCM) show 2/5 proactive fixes, but error-prone filings flag mid-cap governance gaps

Avg 3/10 for fines (Ravinder/Microse), vs 7/10 for pledge/M&A, indicating enforcement focus on procedural vs. financial risks
