Why FixPayment Risk Score Is Better
FixPayment Risk Score is built on a blended data foundation, not a single bureau file. Our models are informed by public web and record signals, private data sources, and proprietary performance data from our creditor partners. This gives us deeper visibility into distress patterns and improves our estimate of a company’s probability of default or bankruptcy.
- Better signal quality: the model blends public sources, private sources, and proprietary creditor-workflow data instead of relying only on legacy bureau ranges.
- Global by design: FP Risk Score is built for cross-border business review, unlike many bureau scores that are strongest only within their local or domestic file coverage.
- 90% cheaper: FP Risk Score is positioned to be dramatically more cost-efficient than traditional competitor score and report workflows.
- Better usability: one normalized 0–100 score instead of translating separate bureau scales—see the vendor-documented comparison below.
- Better decisions: the score includes evidence, confidence indicators, and bankruptcy-probability context so teams can justify approvals or declines immediately.
Bureau score scales at a glance
Each bureau publishes its own numeric range—and they are not interchangeable. For example, D&B documents PAYDEX on 0–100 (80 = prompt payment), Experian documents Intelliscore Plus on 1–100 (76–100 = low risk band) and V3 on 300–850, and Equifax’s Payment Index runs 0–99 where lower is better. FP Risk Score uses one 0–100 scale for every counterparty. The table includes only ranges we can cite to official vendor documentation; the Low → High column shows each product’s documented floor and ceiling.

Accuracy policy: We omit bureau products when we cannot confirm a published range from the vendor (for example, FICO SBSS and some Equifax legacy score names cited on third-party sites). Threshold examples above come from the same vendor materials: D&B PAYDEX 80 = prompt; Experian Intelliscore 76–100 = low risk band. Always confirm the exact score name and version on the report you purchase—Equifax and Experian ship multiple models with different scales.
One 0–100 score, built for your workflow (product fit, segment, region, structural vs momentum)—not a generic bureau number you translate later.
Who FP Risk Score Is For
FP Risk Score uses the same 0–100 scale for every counterparty—small shop, mid-market vendor, or public enterprise. What changes is how much public evidence we can attach to the report, not whether you can run one. These charts show typical coverage by business size, region, and buyer workflow.
Report funnel
Every segment enters the same intake. Enrichment depth—and report confidence—increase as public footprint grows.
Business size segments
Relative signal strength for a typical report—not eligibility. Every size can be scored; examples below show who usually fits each band.
Region & location
Built for cross-border review. U.S. addresses parse deepest today; global counterparties still map to one comparable score.
Buyer workflows
The report is for teams extending money or terms—not consumer credit. Typical buyers across company sizes:
- Small business credit teams Replace or supplement bureau SMB scores (Intelliscore, PAYDEX, LexisNexis Small Business).
- Mid-market finance & procurement Onboard vendors and set terms before first invoice—not after a default pattern emerges.
- Enterprise treasury & risk Screen large public counterparties with bankruptcy and legal context on one 0–100 read.
- International operations Compare domestic and foreign entities without translating local bureau scales.
How to read this: Percentages illustrate typical evidence depth, not a guarantee for any single entity. Every segment gets the same report structure—score, risk factors, data comparison, and recommendations—with confidence badges that reflect how complete the underlying records are.
Score by Loan Term
One report — four lending horizons
FP moves with loan length; Experian Intelliscore Plus V3 does not—one bureau number for every term below.
Takeaway: FP readjusts for 6 mo → 3 yr exposure (78–54 on 0–100). Experian V3 stays 696—mapped from your headline FP score for illustration; your purchased bureau file may differ.
FP Risk Score Odds Table
Translate a 0–100 FP Risk Score into underwriting-friendly odds. Higher scores mean lower estimated 12-month distress probability—shown as 1 in N odds, implied percentage, and suggested credit posture.
| FP Score | Band | 12-mo odds | Implied % | Distress view | Suggested posture |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | Strong | 1 in 250 | 0.4% | Low | Standard net terms; routine monitoring |
| 60–79 | Good | 1 in 100 | 1.0% | Low–moderate | Net 30 with periodic review |
| 40–59 | Fair | 1 in 35 | 2.9% | Moderate | Shorter terms or partial prepay |
| 20–39 | Weak | 1 in 12 | 8.3% | Elevated | COD, secured terms, or executive approval |
| 0–19 | High Risk | 1 in 4 | 25.0% | Severe | Prepay only; avoid unsecured exposure |
Distress odds chart
Bar length = illustrative 12-month distress probability (lower is better). Read top-to-bottom from strongest to highest-risk bands.
Reference only: Odds bands are illustrative underwriting guides derived from the FP Risk Score scale—they are not actuarial guarantees. Live reports combine score, evidence, and confidence indicators; use this table to align policy thresholds across teams.
