This Is For You If
- You've been asked to build a trade credit risk program from scratch and need to show a credible plan by next quarter.
- Your team keeps missing early warning signs because risk data is scattered across emails and spreadsheets.
- You're negotiating credit insurance renewals and need to demonstrate a structured risk management process.
- Stakeholders in sales or finance push back on credit decisions because the methodology isn't transparent.
- You're auditing an existing program and need to prove consistency, documentation, and control maturity.
What Makes This Different
Every Excel workbook is production-ready. You don't need to reverse-engineer formulas or debate scoring logic. Open the file, input your counterparties, and generate a defensible risk rating the same day.
The Pro Tips sections capture lessons from 25 years of failed rollouts, insurer disputes, and audit findings. You'll know where teams typically underestimate exposure, which thresholds trigger insurer pushback, and how to maintain scoring consistency across regions.
This isn't a collection of isolated templates. It's a fully integrated system, assessment, decisioning, monitoring, and reporting, designed to work together the way real credit teams operate. No patching together mismatched tools or reconciling conflicting frameworks.

Focus your time on analyzing exposure, not assembling tools.
