Why is Valdoria Telecom's foreign-currency rating lower than its local-currency rating?

Tests: Ceilings: a Country Ceiling is a cap on foreign-currency ratings, not a rating of the sovereign or of the company.

Expected: Because of the Country Ceiling for Valdoria (BB), which caps the foreign-currency ratings of entities domiciled there (transfer and convertibility risk). The local-currency rating (BBB-) is not capped.

✅ R5 csv+ontology run 1 graded by llm

The data doesn't state a cause, but the likely reason is the Valdoria Country Ceiling. A12 sets VD's ceiling at BB, E05's FC rating is BB (A14), and its LC rating BBB- (A13) is not capped because local-currency ratings are exempt.

✅ R5 csv+ontology run 2 graded by llm

The data shows Valdoria Telecom's FC rating (BB, A14) at the Valdorian Country Ceiling (BB, A12), while its LC rating (BBB-, A13) is not capped. The ceiling reflects transfer and convertibility risk, but A14 has no comment, so the data does not explicitly state the reason.

✅ R5 csv+ontology run 3 graded by llm

The data shows FC BB (A14) and LC BBB- (A13) for E05, and the Country Ceiling for VD is BB (A12). The FC rating sits at the ceiling, and the ontology says FC ratings are capped by it while local-currency ratings are not. The data does not state the reason explicitly, so this is inferred from the ceiling.

✅ R5 csv+ontology run 4 graded by llm

Valdoria Telecom's foreign-currency rating (BB, A14) is capped at the Valdorian Country Ceiling (BB, A12). The local-currency rating (BBB-, A13) is not subject to the ceiling.

✅ R5 csv+ontology run 5 graded by llm

The Republic of Valdoria's Country Ceiling (VD, BB, A12) caps E05's foreign-currency ratings, so the FC rating is BB (A14). The local-currency rating of BBB- (A13) is not capped.

✅ R7 csv+neutral run 1 graded by llm

The FC rating (BB, A14) equals the Valdoria ceiling (BB, A12), while the LC rating (BBB-, A13) is not capped. The data shows the cap but gives no stated rationale. The ontology attributes the ceiling to transfer and convertibility risk.

✅ R7 csv+neutral run 2 graded by llm

Valdoria's Country Ceiling (BB, A12) caps foreign-currency ratings, so E05's FC rating (BB, A14) sits at the cap. Its local-currency rating (BBB-, A13) is not capped. The data does not state the reason explicitly, so this is inferred from the ontology.

✅ R7 csv+neutral run 3 graded by llm

The FC rating (BB, A14) is capped by Valdoria's Country Ceiling of BB (A12). The LC rating (BBB-, A13) is not capped, so the gap reflects transfer and convertibility risk.

✅ R7 csv+neutral run 4 graded by llm

Valdoria's foreign-currency rating (BB, A14) sits at its Country Ceiling (BB, A12), which caps FC ratings. Its local-currency rating (BBB-, A13) is not capped. (Not in the JSON, since Q6 is not in the requested list.)

✅ R7 csv+neutral run 5 graded by llm

The FC rating (BB, A14) sits at the Valdoria Country Ceiling of BB (A12), while the LC rating (BBB-, A13) is not capped. The ontology says FC ratings are generally no higher than the ceiling, but the data does not record the analyst's reasoning. (Q6 is not in the JSON spec, so it is omitted there.)
