Explanation:
Through-the-cycle updates offer ratings updates over a several-year window. This process smooths the effect of changes and offers higher stability in ratings estimates. Point-in-time updates provide the timeliest information, and developing updates do not offer guidance on the direction of change, but only that a change is likely.
