How We Grade Companies
Every grade is calculated from real settlement data using a weighted scoring model:
30%
Number of Settlements
Fewer settlements = better score. Chronic repeat defendants score lowest.
25%
Total Amount Paid
Larger settlements indicate more serious harm to more consumers.
20%
Severity of Violations
Data breaches, fraud, and securities violations weigh heavier than minor consumer complaints.
15%
Recency
Recent settlements hurt more. Old settlements matter less as companies improve.
10%
Resolution Behavior
Companies that cooperate and settle quickly vs. those that fight for years.
A90–100: 0–1 minor settlements
B75–89: 1–2 settlements, moderate
C60–74: 3–5 settlements or 1 large
D40–59: Multiple, large amounts
F0–39: Chronic offender
