A nightly composite score ranking a company's decline and risk.

## When it fires

<Card title="Trigger condition" icon="bolt">
  Mirror of `momentum_score` computed over decline signals and negative people signals (departures, churn).
</Card>

## Stored fields

This signal persists the following metadata you can read downstream:

| Field      | Description                           |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `to_value` | The computed risk score for that day. |

## Magnitude

Continuous score rather than a bucketed event.

<Note>
  For the full bucket definitions used across percentage-based signals, see [Magnitude buckets](/buying-signals/concepts/magnitude-buckets).
</Note>

## Why it matters

Together, the two scores let you sort accounts by opportunity and by risk in a single view. risk\_score is the inverse of momentum, it rolls decline and negative people signals into one number so you can spot at-risk accounts and protect existing customers before churn hits.

## How to read it

<CardGroup cols={1}>
  <Card title="Single risk view">
    One number summarizes all decline signals.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Churn early warning">
    Rising risk on a customer flags retention work.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pair with momentum">
    Together they give a full opportunity-and-risk picture.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Outreach playbook

<Tip>
  Use for retention. Rising risk on a customer account triggers a save play.
