A note on sample size

Junk King is a smaller-sample brand: 24 of its SBA loans are old enough to judge (our flagship brands have 60+). The default rate above is a real count, but read it as a signal rather than a verdict — with 24 loans, a handful of outcomes moves the number. We omit the year-by-year breakdowns shown on larger brands, which would be noisy at this size.
