What causes is Release registered for?
Why is there no Clarity Score for Release yet?
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. Release is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
