Methodology

How Subprime Auto Watch is built

Start with Auto ABS delinquency chart rows generated from SEC-filed servicer reports.
Parse the chart sentence for previous and current delinquency percentages.
Join FICO distribution chart rows and keep explicit Subprime or Deep-subprime FICO disclosures.
Add high-delinquency proxy rows above 10% current delinquency when FICO labels are not explicit.
Rank deterioration, improvement, deep-subprime spotlight rows, issuer heatmap rows, and vintage context from the same parsed data.

Boundary

FICO-supported watchlist, not a legal classification

Subprime Auto Watch uses disclosed FICO buckets where DealCharts has them and clearly labels high-delinquency proxy rows. It does not infer legal, rating-agency, or shelf marketing classifications when the public chart index does not support them.
