What are Weighted Multipliers?
The Answer
Weighted Multipliers are Bayesian coefficients used in the Sentinel engine to prioritize financial signals based on their historical predictive power. Not all red flags are the same color; multipliers ensure that high-severity events (like auditor changes) have a disproportionately larger impact on the Risk Score than minor operating issues.

Why it Matters
Institutional risk management requires 'Signal Precision.' By using multipliers, Flagium ensures the final Risk Score reflects the **True Structural Danger** of a business, rather than just a simple count of flags. It is the mathematical heart of our 'Forensic Alpha.'
Sentinel Insight
“The science of risk is the science of knowing which signals to prioritize. Multipliers allow the Flagium engine to distinguish between a 'Temporary Setback' and a 'Systemic Breakdown.'”
📊 How to Interpret
In Risk Context
Logic Hierarchy: • **Terminal Risk (5.0x Multiplier)**: Auditor Resignation / Solvency Default. • **High Risk (2.5x Multiplier)**: Negative OCF for 2+ years / Extreme Gearing. • **Standard Risk (1.0x Multiplier)**: Margin compression / Minor DSO growth. This hierarchy ensures your dashboard only screams when there is a true emergency.
Detect risk early
Flagium tracks these signals across multiple quarters to help you avoid structurally weak companies before it reflects in price.
