Beyond the Number: What 'Detailed Reading' Adds
Kundali Milan gives you a Guna score out of 36 (Ashtakoot) or 27 (Dashakoot) and a koot-by-koot breakdown — useful, but a raw number can't tell you whether a low score is a dealbreaker or just one weak factor among many strong ones. Click 'Get Detailed Reading' on a matchmaking result and the engine produces a full narrative report: an Overall Summary, Individual Insights for both people, a Match Analysis grouping strengths and weaknesses, a prioritised Risk Analysis, a Traditional Verdict, Practical Advice, and a single Final Verdict label.
Why Not Every Koot Carries Equal Weight
Ashtakoot allocates 8 of the 36 points to Nadi and 7 to Bhakoota — together over 40% of the total score — while Varna is worth just 1 point. Treating every failed koot as equally serious would let a minor Varna mismatch drag a couple's prospects down as hard as a genuine Nadi Dosha. Our Risk Analysis instead weighs each koot's share of the total system score: a failing koot worth 15% or more of the total is flagged Major; anything lighter is Moderate. This mirrors how the factors are actually read in practice — Nadi, Bhakoota, and Gana matter far more than Varna or Vashya.
What's Covered in Risk Analysis
Beyond the koot scores themselves, the Risk Analysis section checks Kuja/Mangal Dosha for both individuals (and whether it's cancelled or mutually balancing), Nadi Dosha, Rajju compatibility (Dashakoot), Tara Bala, Gana compatibility, and two supporting heuristics: Papasamyam (a rough balance check on malefic planet load between the two charts) and Dasha Sandhi (flagging if either person's planetary sub-period is about to change within the next year — a transition window worth a little extra patience, not a verdict driver).
Cancellations and Balancing Factors Are Always Shown
Vedic astrology has long recognised that doshas can cancel or balance each other — both partners sharing Mangal Dosha is traditionally considered self-cancelling, for instance. Every flagged risk in the report carries its balancing factor alongside it when one exists, so a Major risk is never presented in isolation without the context that might soften it. The goal is a fair reading, not a scare tactic.
Reading the Final Verdict
The Final Verdict is one of five labels — Excellent Match, Good Match, Average Match, Needs Care, or High Risk — derived from the score percentage and adjusted downward when genuine high-weight risks are unresolved. A high Guna score with an uncancelled Nadi Dosha won't be called 'Excellent'; a modest score with no major doshas and good Bhakoota/Gana compatibility can still be 'Good'. As with any astrology reading, treat it as guidance for a conversation, not a final word — Practical Advice at the end always points toward consulting an astrologer for decisions that matter.
