CoreFi Company Report vs Company Watch
Company Watch is a financial analytics provider best known for modelled risk scoring, including its H-Score, sold to risk and credit teams on a subscription. CoreFi does not model risk and does not score companies. It compiles the public record into a one-off report, from £39, and shows you the figures the score would have been built from.

A model versus the underlying record
A risk score compresses a company into a number using a model. That is genuinely useful when you are ranking a portfolio and need a consistent measure across hundreds of companies.
CoreFi does the opposite. It shows the filed figures, the multi-year trends and the ratios, and tells you which of them reconcile. There is no score, because inventing one would mean asserting a judgement the public record does not support. You are left with the evidence, and the judgement is yours.
Where each one fits
If you need a consistent, comparable risk measure across a book of companies, and the workflow to monitor it, that is what analytics subscriptions are built for.
If you need to understand one company properly, and be able to point at where every figure came from, a factual report is the better instrument. It is also the one you can put in front of a client, a lender or a board, because every number traces back to a filing.

Frequently asked
Does CoreFi give a risk score?
No, deliberately. CoreFi is not a credit reference agency and does not model or publish a score. It reports what the company filed, cross-checked, and leaves the judgement to you.
Can I use a CoreFi report for a credit decision?
You can use it as evidence in one. It is information compiled from the public record, not advice and not a recommendation to extend or refuse credit.
What if the accounts do not add up?
The report says so. A period whose figures fail the balance-sheet cross-check is labelled rather than presented as verified, and a figure that was never filed is reported as unavailable rather than estimated.
