## The data
You can't see the data, but you can query it. It is in DuckDB, in the tables below. Write DuckDB SQL.
To run queries, reply with one or more fenced blocks (```sql), 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.
All columns are text (VARCHAR); dates are ISO strings.
- `entities` (19 rows): entity_id, name, lei, country, entity_type, parent_id, source_system
- `instruments` (8 rows): instrument_id, description, issuer_id, guarantor_id, seniority, currency, maturity
- `rating_actions` (47 rows): action_id, date, rated_id, rating_type, ccy_basis, action, rating, outlook, watch, comment
## 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).

Run more queries, or give the final answers.The model
**Q1.** A-. A01 assigned A- on 2024-03-12, and the downgrade to BBB (A02) only came on 2025-06-20.
**Q2.** No. Kestrel's only 2026 actions are affirmations (A03, A04); the downgrade was in 2025 (A02).
**Q3.** No. The 2031 note (I02) was cut to BB+ by A07, which is below investment grade.
**Q4.** Positive. E03 shares E02's LEI, so it is the same entity, and its latest action (A09, 2025-09-15) carries a POS outlook.
**Q5.** The guarantor, E02 (Northwind Holdings). I03 is guaranteed by E02 and is rated A (A11).
**Q6.** 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.
**Q7.** E08 (A21, A22), E10 (A27) and E16 (A44).
**Q8.** E08, which went to RD on 2026-07-08 (A22).
**Q9.** 13. These are CV, E01, E02 (E03 is the same entity), E05, E06, E08, E09, E10, E12, E13, E14, E15 and E16. E07 was withdrawn (A19), E11 has only a CO record (A46), and VD has only a country ceiling (A12).
**Q10.** Depends. Its local-currency rating is BBB- (investment grade, A13) but its foreign-currency rating is BB (not investment grade, A14).
**Q11.** BBB+, after the downgrade in A36.
**Q12.** A-, from A34.
**Q13.** 1, from A36.
**Q14.** None. Halden Foods' first rating was assigned on 2024-02-01 (A30).
**Q15.** A-. The downgrade to BBB+ (A27) came on 2026-04-15, after that date.
**Q16.** No. It was BBB+ then and is BBB+ now; A35 and A33 are a watch and an affirmation.
**Q17.** No. Orrin Bank has only a Rating Watch Negative action (A17), with the rating still A-.
**Q18.** E06 (A17). E14's watch from A35 was resolved by the A33 affirmation, which has no watch.
**Q19.** E01 (A03) and E09 (A25).
**Q20.** No. Pellam's rating was withdrawn for commercial reasons (A19), and there is no default record.
**Q21.** E07, whose rating was withdrawn (A19).
**Q22.** E08, rated RD in A22.
**Q23.** F2 (A04).
**Q24.** Yes. The issuer rating is BBB (A03).
**Q25.** 5. These are I01 (BBB), I03 (A), I05 (BBB+), I06 (A-) and I07 (BBB-). I08's only record is action type EX (A47), which the data does not define; I treated it as an expected rating, not a held one.
**Q26.** A+ (A40).
**Q27.** A- (A42).
**Q28.** BBB+ (A38).
**Q29.** None. Valdoria has only a Country Ceiling record (A12), not an issuer rating.
**Q30.** E05 (FC BB, matching Valdoria's ceiling of BB) and E15 (FC A, matching Corvenia's ceiling of A).
**Q31.** No. No company's foreign-currency rating exceeds its country's ceiling.
**Q32.** E09. E11 has parent E10, and E10 has parent E09.
**Q33.** The guarantor, E10 (Halden Bank). I05 is guaranteed by E10 and is rated BBB+ (A29).
**Q34.** No. E12 has no parent link to E09 or E10; the shared name is the only connection.
**Q35.** 3 (E09, E10, E11). E17 duplicates E10 by LEI.
**Q36.** 2 (E02, E04). E03 duplicates E02 by LEI.
**Q37.** 17. E03 duplicates E02 and E17 duplicates E10, both by LEI.
**Q38.** No. They have different LEIs, countries and types.
**Q39.** A (A09 and A08).
**Q40.** 6 (E01, E02, E09, E12, E14, E16). E07 is excluded because its rating was withdrawn.
**Q41.** BB+ (A44). The entity's source system is QA, so it may be a test record.
**Q42.** DE (E10). E17 is a LU research duplicate of the same LEI.
**Q43.** 0. The only LU record is E17, a duplicate of E10, which is domiciled in DE.
**Q44.** Yes, probably. I07 is in XVD, which appears to be Valdoria's currency, but the data does not state this.
**Q45.** No. The ceiling caps foreign-currency ratings, and I07 is a local-currency note.
**Q46.** No. E11 has only a CO record (A46), not an issuer rating.
**Q47.** None. The only record for I08 is an EX action (A47) at A, which I read as an expected rating, but the data does not define EX.
**Q48.** 7 (I01–I07). I08 is excluded for the reason given in Q47.
