Corporational Revenue Rating Stratum
The Corporational Revenue Rating Stratum (CRRS) is a categorization of the annual revenue of a company or organization calculated and standardized by the Illuminatian Bureau of Commerce and Trade (BCT). The CRRS translates Monetary Unit (μ) volumetric values into a simple limited number of categories.
The CRRS allows comparison of for-profit and non-profit corporate entities across numerous industries and corporate structural styles. The CRRS, in conjunction with the Corporational Asset Rating Stratum (CARS), plays an integral component to the setting and management of the interest rate imposed on the Monetary Network bank accounts held by corporate entities.
The Corporational Revenue Rating Stratum considers revenue from a running average of multiple annual units (AU) in order to maintain the integrity of the measurement and prevent transitory fluctuations in profitability and revenue from dramatically affecting a corporate entity's classification for a single given AU during which the company might experience abnormally excessive revenue gains or incur abnormally impressive losses. Corporations and non-profits with an incorporated history shorter than 10AU will have a CRRS reported for the longest period of revenue that is reportable, down to a 1AU. The CRRS for every corporate entity is updated once every AU and remains applicable for the entire AU.
The BCT uses the CRRS to help create a wide variety of economic indicators and administer various economic management mechanisms. Statistics based from summation, averaging, and analysis of the collective CRRS on either a continent-wide, regional, or local basis inform the interventions that the BCT uses in the Illuminatian macroeconomy. The CRRS is important to the accuracy of the whole portfolio of economic reporting produced by the BCT.
Meanwhile, the Department of Monetary Policy (DMP) uses the CRRS as one of a handful of data points to judge which interest rate with which any given corporate entity's Monetary Network balance will be assessed. Financial institutions with which a for-profit company or non-profit organization maintains an account will adjust interest rates according to assessments made in part using the CRRS, and in turn the DMP's Office of the Central Bank (OCB) will assess the interest rate of the bank's overall holdings taking into account the accumulated averages of the accounts held by the bank.
The Corporational Revenue Rating Stratum is used in popular communication as a shorthand that can help characterize individual businesses and non-profits.
