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.

🟡 D1 sql run 1 graded by llm · query session

The data points to the Valdoria Country Ceiling (A12), which is BB. Valdoria Telecom's foreign-currency rating is BB (A14), while its local-currency rating is BBB- (A13). The data does not state the reason explicitly.

Why: Names the BB Country Ceiling as the likely cause but does not say it caps foreign-currency (not local-currency) ratings, and hedges that the reason isn't stated.

✅ D1 sql run 2 graded by llm · query session

The data points to Valdoria's Country Ceiling of BB (A12), which caps the foreign-currency rating at BB (A14) while the local-currency rating is BBB- (A13). The data does not state the cause explicitly.

✅ D1 sql run 3 graded by llm · query session

This isn't a question with a JSON field. The Valdoria Country Ceiling (A12) is BB, and it caps the foreign-currency rating (A14, BB). The local-currency rating (A13) is BBB-.

🟡 D1 sql run 4 graded by llm · query session

The foreign-currency rating is capped by Valdoria's Country Ceiling of BB (A12). The foreign-currency rating is BB (A14) and the local-currency rating is BBB- (A13).

Why: Names the BB Country Ceiling as the cap on foreign-currency rating, but never says the ceiling applies only to foreign-currency and not local-currency ratings.

✅ D1 sql run 5 graded by llm · query session

The Valdoria country ceiling (A12) is BB. That caps Valdoria Telecom's foreign-currency rating at BB (A14), while its local-currency rating is BBB- (A13).

🟡 D2 sql+markdown run 1 graded by llm · query session

The foreign-currency rating is capped by the Valdoria Country Ceiling. VD's ceiling is BB (A12), and E05's FC rating is BB (A14) against an LC rating of BBB- (A13).

Why: Names the BB Country Ceiling as the cap on the FC rating, but never states that it applies only to foreign-currency ratings and not local-currency ones (only implied by the LC rating being higher).

✅ D2 sql+markdown run 2 graded by llm · query session

This is not in the structured answers. The likely reason is the Valdoria Country Ceiling of BB (A12), which caps E05's FC rating (A14, BB). Its LC rating (A13, BBB-) is not capped.

✅ D2 sql+markdown run 3 graded by llm · query session

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

✅ D2 sql+markdown run 4 graded by llm · query session

Valdoria's Country Ceiling is BB (A12), and foreign-currency ratings are capped at the ceiling. Valdoria Telecom's FC rating is therefore BB (A14), while its uncapped LC rating is BBB- (A13).

✅ D2 sql+markdown run 5 graded by llm · query session

Valdoria's Country Ceiling is BB (A12) and caps the FC rating. E05's FC rating is BB (A14), while its LC rating is BBB- (A13) and is not capped.

🟡 D4 sparql run 1 graded by llm · query session

The data doesn't state a reason. The pattern is consistent with a country-ceiling cap: E05's FC rating is BB (A14), equal to Valdoria's Country Ceiling of BB (A12), while its LC rating is BBB- (A13).

Why: It names the BB Country Ceiling and shows FC equals it while LC is higher, but it hedges that the data states no reason instead of asserting the ceiling as the cause, and it never explicitly says the ceiling caps FC and not LC.

🟡 D4 sparql run 2 graded by llm · query session

The data has no explanation field for this. The records show E05's local-currency rating at BBB- and its foreign-currency rating at BB (A13, A14). Valdoria's country ceiling (A12) is BB, which matches the foreign-currency rating, so a ceiling effect is the likely cause. I can't confirm that from the data.

Why: Identifies the BB country ceiling matching the FC rating as the likely cause, but hedges as unconfirmed and never states that the ceiling caps foreign-currency ratings and not local-currency ones.

🟡 D4 sparql run 3 graded by llm · query session

The data points to the Country Ceiling: VD's ceiling is BB (A12), which matches E05's FC rating of BB (A14). The LC rating is BBB- (A13). The data has no explicit statement of this reason.

Why: Names the BB Country Ceiling as the cause, but never says the ceiling caps foreign-currency ratings and not local-currency ones; it only notes the FC rating matches the ceiling.

🟡 D4 sparql run 4 graded by llm · query session

The data records no reason. It only shows E05's FC rating (BB, A14) below its LC rating (BBB-, A13), and VD's Country Ceiling at BB (A12).

Why: Mentions the BB Country Ceiling alongside the FC rating of BB but states no reason and doesn't say the ceiling caps FC and not LC ratings, so it never names the ceiling as the cause.

🟡 D4 sparql run 5 graded by llm · query session

The data does not state a reason. E05's FC rating is BB (A14) and its LC rating is BBB- (A13). The Republic of Valdoria's country ceiling is BB (A12), which matches the FC rating, so a ceiling cap is the likely explanation.

Why: Names the BB country ceiling as the likely cause, but never says the ceiling caps foreign-currency ratings and not local-currency ones.
