According to Morningstar Credit Ratings Ranking Announcement published on Feb. 27, 2017:

The assigned rankings reflect Morningstar's assessment of both companies' infrastructure and client-driven performance results. The Stable forecast for both rankings is indicative of both companies' solid vendor performance derived from an experienced management team, excellent proprietary technology, solid enterprise wide risk controls, and attention to client-driven performance results. A robust training regimen, comprehensive policies and procedures, and an effective quality control environment minimize operational risk and promote best practices across the enterprise. Management has developed vendors election criteria and vendor-rating standards that effectively measure vendor performance, as reflected in the execution of service-level agreements with their customers. The companies have developed a scoring system to monitor and measure each company's performance and product quality against service-level agreement goals, enabling senior management to assess capacity and workflow to meet or exceed client benchmarks. Red Bell and Pyramid Platform continue to integrate best practices across the enterprise with Clayton and its ultimate parent, Radian. The combined offerings of Red Bell and Pyramid Platform, as well as Clayton and Radian, represent a full suite of end-to-end residential real estate services that present clients with a single source of product solutions.
