The problem
Issuer fundamentals shift continuously, but most credit views are produced on quarterly or annual cycles. AIR provides a continuously recalibrated layer that fills the gap between those refresh points.

Case study
AIR's risk engine assigned Wolfspeed (WOLF) a CCC-equivalent Risk Score as far back as 2019 — three years before the company tapped the capital markets for a $1.25B senior note issue in June 2023. The signal was driven by sustained profitability deterioration, rising leverage, and company-specific factors AIR isolated from sector noise.
In June 2025, AIR published a case study showing the model's trajectory in real time. Roughly two weeks later, Wolfspeed announced its Chapter 11 restructuring. Customers monitoring the name through AIR had years to reduce exposure, hedge, or exit.
