Mohanram G-Score is a financial indicator developed by professor Partha Mohanram to help investors find the best investment opportunities in the growth stocks. Companies have higher G-score tends to generate higher return. According to his study, the best growth stocks that have a G-Score greater than 6 tend to beat the market, while those with a G-Score lower than 1 tend to have negative absolute returns.
Thus, the zones of discrimination were as such:
Good or high score = 6, 7, 8
Bad or low score = 0, 1

Partha Mohanram is the John H. Watson Chair in Value Investing at Rotman and the Acting Vice-Dean of Research Strategy and Resources.
In 2000, he wrote a research paper called "Separating Winners from Losers Among Low Book-to-Market Stocks Using Financial Statement Analysis".
This paper tests whether a strategy based on financial statement analysis of low book-to-market (growth) stocks is successful in differentiating between winners and losers in terms of future stock performance. Based on the research, a strategy based on buying high G-score (6, 7 or 8) firms and shorting low G-score (0 or 1) firms consistently earns significant excess returns. Further, the results do not support a risk based explanation for the book-to-market effect as the strategy returns positive returns in all years, and firms that ex-ante appear less risky have better future returns.
To conclude, one can use a modified fundamental analysis strategy (G-score) to identify mispricing and earn substantial abnormal returns.
