Evaluating Borrower Creditworthiness Effectively

I recently analyzed several credit reports for potential commercial clients, and I noticed a significant variance in score interpretations among loan officers. It’s crucial we not only look at the numbers but also consider the context behind them, such as recent downturns in a borrower’s specific industry. What are some best practices you use to assess creditworthiness without getting too bogged down in the data?
