We proactively monitor the market to identify factors that may materially affect scorecards, scores and limits and make pro-active adjustments as appropriate. In addition, we track commercial press releases that may have a bearing on a business’s financial standing before that impact is felt in any official reporting or data sources used within our automated scoring models.
Alerts are triggered by a range of events including profit warnings, share suspensions, liquidity problems, insolvency, extreme share price movements, acquisitions and mergers, etc.
Whenever a reported event contains information that could affect Experian’s Commercial Delphi score, rating and limit, the article will be scrutinised by a commercial analyst who will apply an override if appropriate. In extreme cases scores, ratings and limits will be withdrawn.
We will continue to monitor Commercial Delphi to ensure it remains highly predictive and relevant in the changing economic environment.
