Note, that depending on your users level with svetrating.com platform you might write two types of reviews - Users (brief, rating a project only by four main parameters) and Expert (detailed, rating a project by all 16 sub- parameters). The above information is aimed at those writing an Expert Review. However, it also can be applied to writing an User Review.

When you SVET-rate a project the rating scale of 'a+' (highest) to 'c-' (lowest) must be used to evaluate all project's parameters separately (the resulting rating is calculated programmatically).

Note, that SVET rating is an analytical - not an investment one. It reflects your own opinion and is not aimed to influence users investment's decisions - solely to provide them with the objective information about a given project.

Accordingly, while assigning the SVET rating to a specific project you must follow your own intuition about the current and projected states of project's fundamentals.
