Grades & decisions

A grade you can explain. A decision you can defend.

Every check ends in three things: a score, a letter grade and a decision. All three come from your policy and the evidence, and all three can be traced back to the findings behind them.

What you see

Score, grade and decision — in that order of detail

  • Decision — what to do: clear to proceed, send to review, or do not proceed.
  • Grade — a letter anyone in the business can read at a glance.
  • Score — the 0–100 figure behind the grade, for people who want the detail.
  • How this was decided — the policy, the checks, and anything that could not be run.

How the grade is formed

Six rules behind every grade

Your policy sets the weights

A customer you extend credit to and a supplier you buy from are different risks. Each policy weights categories such as financial standing or conduct differently.

Critical failures stop an approval

Some results end the conversation regardless of the score — a confirmed sanctions match, for example. The case says which one fired.

Gaps cost points, openly

A check nobody could run counts against the grade, not for it, and the case shows how much it cost and what would have answered it.

People can overrule, with a reason

A reviewer can decide differently from the grade. The decision, the reason and the person are recorded next to the original result.

Some subjects are required

A policy can mark a category required, such as financial standing for customers on credit. If nothing covered it, the case cannot clear itself: it goes to a person and scores at most a C.

No evidence, no grade

Every case says where its evidence came from. If nothing could be checked at all, there is no grade and no verdict, just a case for a person, rather than a confident-looking result built on nothing.

What a grade is not. A Traustis grade supports your business due diligence. It is not a credit score, not a consumer report, and not a guarantee about a company's future conduct. It should not be used to make decisions about individuals such as employment, housing or credit eligibility. See our Terms.
