How it is calculated
The band comes from the bankruptcy probability on a scale of 0 to 100: every 10 points more double the odds of getting through the year without bankruptcy.
| 75-100 | Excellent | under 0.55% |
| 60-74 | Healthy | 0.55% to 1.5% |
| 45-59 | Fair | 1.5% to 4.2% |
| 25-44 | Weak | 4.2% to 15.0% |
| 0-24 | Critical | over 15.0% |
Place inside the band: half the bankruptcy probability, half how the company does against its sector peers (NACE 73, small). Better than this share of them on solvency 44%, liquidity 18%, profitability 22%, growth against the median 71%. That is performance, not lower risk; the band itself always comes from the probability.
Bankruptcy probability: model pd-v3.202610021621, computed on 05-10-2026. The model learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the gazette.
Ceilings: negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special KBO legal situation and a missing filing 59 (two missing 44), an ongoing judicial reorganisation or an ending 24. Financial strength does not count in the score.
