1. Standardized Financial Input

Enter just 11 key financial line items from the customers balance sheet and income statement - the core metrics every analyst already looks at. 

2. Automated Benchmarking & Scoring

Our engine applies industry-specific ratio analysis, risk profiling, and credit scoring - all automated.

3. Credit Rating

No more vague scores. You get a credit rating tied to a 12-month probability of default - so you know exactly how to quantify risk.

Credit Risk Framework

A Credit Tale As Old As Time - Now Backed by Data

Every credit team knows the pattern: counterparties in higher-risk industries, with fewer years in business, weaker revenue and margins, higher leverage, and minimal liquidity almost always carry a higher probability of default. 

The difference?

We don't just suspect it.

We quantify it - instantly. 

Transparent, Intuitive Credit Ratings

Our platform scores and weights five critical risk categories:

  1. Industry Risk

  2. Years in Business

  3. Peer Competition

  4. Financial Risk

  5. Liquidity

The output: a clear, data-backed 12-month probability of default.

Peer Benchmarking

In every industry, marginal producers - high-cost, high-leverage, low-margin operators - are the first to struggle when conditions tighten.

We've built that insight into CreditKernel. Our peer benchmarking engine compares your counterparties against direct industry peers, surfacing the weak performers before they become defaults. 

 

We rank each counterparty based on industry-specific financial and operational benchmarks - from 1 (lowest risk, top 20%) through 5 (highest risk, bottom 20%).

Credit Reports

Traditional credit reviews are slow, inconsistent, and dependent on individual analyst style.  We've replaced that with user-friendly, researched-backed reports that call out the key strengths and weaknesses - in minutes, not hours. 

Optimize Time. Strengthen Your Position. 

Risk and reward are always linked - and our credit ratings make that link crystal clear. By quantifying risk against potential profit, you can:

  • Automate approvals for low-risk customers

  • Focus due diligence on higher-risk deals

Optimize credit risk. Minimize your stress.

Financial Statement Analysis

Research-backed. User-friendly

Financial health is a top indicator for meeting financial obligations and competing with industry peers. Our financial spreading template highlights red flags or deviations from industry norms. 

Support Growth Strategies

Manage Risk and Reward

Ensure decisions align with your risk-reward framework. Credit ratings support setting pricing, interest rates, loan amounts, credit limits, collateral, and comparing alternatives.  

Effective Communication

Engaging. Not over-engineered

Credit reviews are fined tuned for clarity and consistency, highlighting the counterparty's key strengths and weaknesses. Decisions align to your company's risk appetite.
