Chicago Atlantic BDC lands at 60 on the CIN composite, a Neutral outcome with conviction of 3/5. Four pillars feed the composite in fixed weights (35/25/25/15 for fundamentals, regulatory, market, and editorial), and no clause of the score is hidden from the reader. Fundamentals carries this profile, printing 88 and setting the ceiling on the composite. The editorial pillar sits at 30, and is the main drag on the composite.
The observable inputs tell a straightforward story: reported revenue growth of 40.1 percent year over year, an operating margin of 65.8 percent, a market cap near 225 million, a filing cadence of 2 regulator events in the trailing 90 days, a jurisdictional posture reading of 50. Every figure is auditable in the accompanying pillar table. The scoring pipeline pulls only from primary regulatory filings, licensed fundamentals data, institutional pricing feeds, and CIN newsroom coverage, and each pillar exposes its own inputs. This lets Chicago Atlantic BDC be lined up against the US operator peer set on identical inputs, with refresh cadence tied directly to primary-source ingest.
The clearest catalyst is the next quarterly print. Fundamentals contribute 88 of the composite, and either an acceleration in top-line growth or a stabilization of the operating margin would move the score higher; a deterioration on either would compress it.
