The Trillion Score: 487

Exponential Success Score

Built on over $200 trillion of sworn revenue, 13 years of data, 770,002 figures. Sealed by Edgarette.

How The Trillion Score works. We read eight measures of success from PodcastOne's own SEC filings and test each one against the public companies in its field, here prepackaged software. The longer and fuller the record, the more weight those results carry. A model built on past filings then turns them into the odds of thriving, which means outgrowing the field for three years without a severe decline. A score of 500 is about average, and every 100 points doubles the odds. Every company is ranked on this same scale.

What it says here. At 487, PodcastOne's odds of thriving come to 34%, against about 37% for the typical filer. It meets 2 of 5 success points.

What the score means

The higher the score, the more often companies went on to thrive. At this level, about 35 of every 100 did.

Share of companies that beat their field for three years with no severe decline, tested on 2019 to 2022 filings.

Fall Risk: High

Separate from the score, this asks what could go wrong: the odds of sales falling 30% or the filings stopping within three years. In the tests, about 41 of every 100 companies in the High band did. That is the group's history, not a forecast for this company.
