Webinar: Probability of Distress (PoD®) BETA Launch
Watch the PoD® BETA launch webinar and learn how our next-generation risk model predicts financial distress using advanced data and machine learning.
PoD® (Probability of Distress) is Company Watch’s next-generation risk model, designed to provide a forward-looking probability of financial distress within a 12-month horizon.
This webinar introduces PoD® as part of its BETA launch, giving you early insight into how the model works, what makes it different, and how it can support more informed risk decisions.
In this session, we cover:
- What PoD® is and how it builds on Company Watch’s existing scoring framework
- How financial distress is defined and predicted over a 12-month period
- The data behind the model and how it differs from traditional approaches
- How machine learning (XGBoost) improves predictive accuracy
- How to interpret PoD® outputs, including probability, risk labels, and explainability (SHAP)
- Key performance insights and what they mean in practice
- What to expect during the BETA phase
