Signals

Two signals. The signal on the left, the evidence on the right.

lowers risk · Long track record
A company with a long track record statistically fails less often than a young one.

Age against the risk zone
highest failure risk from 2 to 8 years 51 years 0 60 y
neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 9 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-03-2025 was due by 31-10-2025 and was filed on 21-11-2025, 21 days late. Weigh it accordingly: a break into the 1-to-90-day band measures 1.41% abnormal legal state, below the 1.66% market average. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
