Recombination Finance · Twin Watch PILOT PROGRAM

Twin Watch

Know which companies look like the ones that failed, six to seven quarters early.

Twin Watch looks at a company's recent filings and finds its closest financial twins: companies in history that had the same story, the same kind of business and the same pressure on cash. It then shows what happened to those twins. When a company's twins mostly went bankrupt, Twin Watch raises an early warning and names the twins, so you can see exactly why.

What is driving it

What would lower the risk

Twins that survived reduced debt and kept cash covering at least a year of obligations.

Every report names the real historical twins behind the score, so you can check the reasoning yourself.

Help it learn

Report outcomes

Tell us how a company you checked turned out. Each outcome becomes a new twin.

Report misses

A company failed and Twin Watch did not flag it? Those cases show exactly where it is blind.

Disagree

Think a report is wrong? Tell us why. If you are right, that reason becomes something it learns to see.

Who it is for

Lenders

Spot borrowers drifting toward default while there is still time to change terms or exposure.

Supply chains

See when a key supplier looks like companies that collapsed, and line up a backup first.

Receivables

Check that large customers will still be able to pay before extending more credit.

Investors and buyers

Find out in due diligence whether a company is weaker than it looks.

How it tested

Every test followed the same discipline: the rules were frozen and fingerprinted before the test, the test ran once, and the first result is the official one. Twin Watch was compared with our earlier statistical early-warning method on the same companies and the same quarters.

32 of 37
Bankruptcies from 2025–26 caught, on companies the model had never seen
30
Of those caught at least a quarter before filing; most 6–7 quarters early
46 of 62
Caught across both one-time tests, versus 25 for the earlier method
One-time testCaught: earlier methodCaught: Twin WatchFalse alarms: earlierFalse alarms: Twin Watch

Fresh 2025–26 (37 bankruptcies, 65 healthy)133216.2%12.4%

Internal tests by Recombination Finance on SEC filings, not an independent validation. False alarms are the share of quarters flagged for companies that did not file within two years. On the fresh test, the chance of the gap between the two methods arising by luck was about 1 in 100,000.

A record kept in the open

Past tests only go so far. Each month, Twin Watch scores a fixed list of companies and saves the result with a digital fingerprint, so it cannot be changed later. As the months pass, those saved predictions are checked against which companies actually filed. The first forward scorecard is due in April 2027. Each new outcome also becomes a new twin, so the library keeps learning.

What to expect
