How the COVID-19 Impact Index Assesses Company Resilience

At a high level, the COVID-19 Impact Index considers four core factors which help to demonstrate a multi-dimensional view of the impact to an individual business by considering its location(s), industry, and credit health, as well as its network:

Company Location Impact Percentile Rank-

Assesses business site and corporate family locations subject to lockdown, stay-in-home, and shelter-in-place locations weighted by the number of confirmed cases and growth in cases by location.

Company Industry Impact Percentile Rank-

Utilizes refined Dun & Bradstreet’s industry classifications with deeper data to identify businesses that: are essential; can operate remotely; require the physical presence of customers; and require employees to be at a central location.

Company Health Impact Percentile Rank-

Assesses a company’s health using Dun & Bradstreet’s predictive scores, such as the Failure Score, Commercial Credit Score, and Viability Rating. Our studies of prior natural disasters show that pre-disaster credit health is one of the topmost predictors of a business’s ability to survive.

COVID-19 Impact Percentile Rank-

Is based on business connections with other businesses, such as customers, suppliers, or other third parties.

The COVID-19 Impact Index uses a percentile ranking for more precise information. The parameters and factor weighting can change daily, as available information and distributions change. Weekly or monthly refreshes allow you to gain timely insights.
