Assessment · AI-generated

Sten Design AS holds grade B (score 74 out of 100 on a scale from A to E), supported by strong liquidity and solidity but limited track record.

The figures for 2025 show a current ratio of 3.38, an equity ratio of 30.9% against an industry median of 36.3%, and an operating margin of 5.1% against a median of 3.4%. Revenue was 17.4 MNOK with a change of −13.5%, and the company was founded in 2023, which gives a short history. The figures do not show how the company has performed on larger or longer assignments, and no public contracts are recorded over the last 5 years.

Strengths

Liquidity scores 100 points, with a current ratio of 3.38.
The operating margin of 5.1% is above the industry median of 3.4%.
The profit margin is positive at 4.8%.
No hard signals are registered, the company is not in a group and has not opted out of audit.

Risks

The equity ratio of 30.9% is below the industry median of 36.3%.
Revenue changed by −13.5%, which the figures alone cannot explain.
Experience scores only 40 points, and the company was founded in 2023.
The company has won 0 public contracts in the last 5 years, so there is no public-sector delivery record to review.

Questions to ask

Can the supplier provide references from comparable private or public customers?
Can updated or interim accounts be requested to see whether the revenue development has continued?
Could a parent company guarantee or bank guarantee be considered for larger contracts, given the short history?
Can the supplier document capacity to deliver the assignment with its 9 employees?

Method

The grade is computed by fixed rules. Each area gets 0 to 100 points from published thresholds, and the points are weighted. A missing area is left out and its weight shared by the rest. A is 80 points or more, B 65, C 50, D 35, and E below that.

Solidity (30 %): equity ratio. 40% or more gives 100 points, 30% gives 85, 20% gives 65, 10% gives 45, 0% gives 25, and negative equity gives 0.
Liquidity (20 %): current ratio. 2.0 or more gives 100 points, 1.5 gives 85, 1.2 gives 65, 1.0 gives 45, and below 1.0 gives 15.
Profitability (20 %): average of operating margin and profit margin. 10% or more gives 100 points, 5% gives 80, 0% gives 55, and a negative margin gives 15.
Size and capacity (10 %): the largest contract in Doffin against revenue. Below 10% gives 100 points, below 30% gives 70, below 60% gives 40, otherwise 15. Without contracts, revenue counts: NOK 50m gives 85, NOK 10m gives 70, NOK 1m gives 50.
Experience from public contracts (20 %): contracts won in Doffin in the last five years. 10 or more give 100 points, 3 give 85, 1 gives 65, and none gives 40. Contracts from at least three different buyers add 10 points.

Hard signals override: bankruptcy or winding-up gives E, negative equity at most D, and missing annual accounts at most C.

The written assessment is written by artificial intelligence from the same figures and labelled «AI-generated». Every number in it is checked against the database before it is shown; if the check fails, text put together from fixed rules is shown. AI does not set the grade.

The assessment is an indication based on public data: the latest annual accounts from the Brønnøysund Register Centre and contracts in Doffin. It is not a credit rating and not advice to choose or reject a supplier. The page is not indexed by search engines.
