The Credit Rating Scale and Mechanism
Scale: Ratings are assigned on a 20-point scale, ranging from AAA (highest credit quality with near-zero probability of default) to D (default).
Investment Grade: Ratings from AAA down to BBB- are considered "investment grade."
Sub-Investment Grade: Ratings from BB+ and below are categorized as sub-investment or "junk" grade.
Scope: While equity analysts focus on listed companies, the credit rating industry covers a broader universe of companies, including unlisted entities, providing a more comprehensive view of the economy.
This model is common globally (used by Moody’s and S&P) and is essential for:
Pricing Debt: Helping lenders determine interest rates based on risk.
Capital Allocation: Assisting banks in calculating capital adequacy requirements as stipulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

we got our own Common Crawl?
👏Now Ethiopia has chief training dataset at https://news.1rj.ru/str/dataset_et
This is not just AI but also preserving humanity's knowledge about ETHIOPIA with local nuance.
Common Crawl is the largest freely available archive of web crawl data arguably has become a foundational building block for generative AI products
Contribut for this Open infra

"What are you encoded for?"
"What must exist in the world that only your encoding could have created?"
https://open.substack.com/pub/etacc/p/discovering-your-encodings-through?
If your startup could be built by someone else using AI, it will be, cheaper, faster, and eventually better.
If your startup kernel is the expression of your encoding, it is uncopyable. Not because of technology, but because it is the externalization of a specific human's irreducible way of perceiving, valuing, and creating meaning.
In every product decision (every hire, every pivot) ask whether you are leveraging your encoding or compensating for its absence. The former builds something AI cannot touch. The latter builds something AI will eventually replace.

Discovering Your Encodings through self-excavation
The work is less self-improvement than self-excavation, removing the accumulated expectations to reveal the durable capacities beneath. Inspired by Jim Collins' book What to Make of a Life
