D&B Material Change® Segmentation (Currently available in the U.S. and Canada)
An innovative solution designed to help you get an earlier picture of business risk or opportunity in ways that traditional assessments cannot provide. Advanced analytics are cutting through all the data that flows through the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud to transform 'digital smoke signals' into early warnings of possible future business behavior.
For example, a combination of material change events like an increase in spend, new site openings, and addition of new credit lines may be predictive of a business that is poised for growth and about to increase its buying power. This foresight will help clients anticipate behavior and place them ahead of the competition.
The scale for Material Change Segmentation is A-J indicating which of the following segments a company is in: early sign of decay, decreasing demand, increase in borrowing, increase in scale, increase in demand, leverage for growth, organic growth, reduction in scale, spend growth, stable.

D&B® Total Loss Predictor
Concerned a client will not pay as your partnership is beginning?

(“Never paying” is defined as the total balance owed since origination rolls to 121+ days past due.) A "bad" business is one with 80% or more of its dollars owing associated with these "never pay" account originations. This predictor is designed to identify first time payment default, straight rollers, or fictitious/shell companies. It is not designed to identity never pay performance due to theft, account takeovers, or bust outs.
