## The data

You can't see the data, but you can query it. It is in an RDF store, described below. Write SPARQL 1.1 SELECT or ASK queries.

To run queries, reply with one or more fenced blocks (```sparql), and nothing else is needed:
each is run and its results sent back to you. You have up to 8 rounds of queries.
When you have what you need, reply with the final answers and no queries.

## Questions

Answer each question below from the data above. Start each answer on a new line with its
number in bold, like **Q1.**, give the direct answer first, then at most two sentences of
reasoning that cite the records (IDs) you relied on.

Then end with one JSON block (```json) holding the structured answer to each question listed
here, with exactly these fields, shaped like {"Q1": {"field": value}, ...}. Name entities by their record ID: the entity_id in the CSV files, or the part of the IRI after lad: in the RDF (E01, not Kestrel Energy plc).

The model
**Q1.** A-. The latest action on or before 1 Jan 2025 is A01 (2024-03-12); A02 downgraded it to BBB only on 2025-06-20.
**Q2.** No. A03 (2026-02-10) affirmed BBB and only moved the outlook to Negative.
**Q3.** No. I02 was cut to BB+ by A07 (2025-06-20), which is sub-investment grade.
**Q4.** Positive. E03 shares E02's LEI, so it is the same entity, and its A09 (2025-09-15) is the latest action, with a Positive outlook.
**Q5.** The risk is E02, the guarantor of I03, which is rated A (A08/A09, and I03 itself via A11).
**Q6.** 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).
**Q7.** E08 (A21, A22), E10 (A27) and E16 (A44).
**Q8.** E08, which was at RD from A22 (2026-07-08).
**Q9.** 13. These are E01, E02 (E03 is the same entity), E05, E06, E08, E09, E10, E12, E13, E14, E15, E16 and CV. E07 is withdrawn, E11 has only a CO-type rating, and VD has only a ceiling.
**Q10.** Depends. The LC rating is BBB- (investment grade) and the FC rating is BB (not), per A13/A14.
**Q11.** BBB+ (A36).
**Q12.** A- (A34).
**Q13.** 1, from A36.
**Q14.** None. E12's first rating is A30 on 2024-02-01.
**Q15.** A- (A26). The downgrade A27 came on 2026-04-15, and E17 is a duplicate of E10 with no ratings.
**Q16.** No. The rating was BBB+ then (A36) and is BBB+ now (A33).
**Q17.** No. A17 is only a Rating Watch Negative and the rating stays A-.
**Q18.** E06 (A17). Marlow's watch was resolved by A33.
**Q19.** E01 (A03) and E09 (A25).
**Q20.** No. A19 is a rating withdrawal (WD), not a default.
**Q21.** E07 (A19).
**Q22.** E08 (A22, RD).
**Q23.** F2 (A04).
**Q24.** Yes. Its issuer rating is BBB (A03).
**Q25.** 6: I01, I03, I05, I06, I07 and I08.
**Q26.** A+ (A40).
**Q27.** A- (A42).
**Q28.** BBB+ (A38).
**Q29.** None. VD has only a Country Ceiling (A12, BB) and no issuer rating.
**Q30.** E05 (FC BB = VD ceiling BB) and E15 (FC A = CV ceiling A).
**Q31.** No. No company's FC issuer rating is above its country's ceiling.
**Q32.** E09, via E11 → E10 → E09.
**Q33.** The risk is E10, the guarantor of I05, which is rated BBB+ (A27).
**Q34.** No. E12 has no parent link to the E09 group.
**Q35.** 3: E09, E10 and E11. E17 duplicates E10.
**Q36.** 2: E02 and E04. E03 duplicates E02.
**Q37.** 17. There are 19 entity records, but E03 duplicates E02 and E17 duplicates E10, as shown by their shared LEIs.
**Q38.** No. They have different LEIs, countries and records (E06 and E13).
**Q39.** A, per A08/A09.
**Q40.** 6: E01, E02, E09, E12, E14 and E16.
**Q41.** BB+ (A44).
**Q42.** DE (E10). E17's LU entry is a duplicate research record.
**Q43.** 0. The only LU record, E17, is a duplicate of the DE-domiciled E10.
**Q44.** Yes. I07 is denominated in XVD, Valdoria's currency, which I take to be its local currency (the data does not define XVD).
**Q45.** No. I07 is an LC obligation, so the FC ceiling (BB) does not apply to its BBB- rating (A45, consistent with LC A13).
**Q46.** No. E11 has only a CO-type rating (A46), not an issuer default rating.
**Q47.** A (A47).
**Q48.** 8, since all instruments I01–I08 have ratings.
