The operations ladder
Counting the banks…
Stage mix by region
Select a row to filter by it; select more to add them.
Compare groups
Each bar is the share of that group’s banks analysed where the research found it: how often it showed up in what was read, not a rate for the market. Hatched bars rest on fewer than 20 banks.
What the research found at each stage
Each bar is drawn against the banks at that stage in this view. A trait counts where the research confirmed it; a signal counts where it found at least one dated signal of that type.
Timing signals
By assets and company size
select to filterFit and timing, scored separately
Fit is how closely a bank matches the traits TieOut’s best customers share. Timing is how much dated evidence says now is the moment. They are separate measurements, so they are shown apart and never combined.
How to read this
Counts, not shares of the market
Every figure counts banks where the research found the evidence. A bank that isn’t counted may still have the trait; the research didn’t find it. Where a share appears, it’s a share of the banks analysed in that group.
Who is in it
Every US community bank in the example that passed all three entry gates, 1,921 in all, taken at the latest analysis of each.
Region, assets and charter
These three come from the FDIC’s public directory of insured banks, not from the research. A charter says who licenses and supervises a bank.
Two readings of size
The research and the directory each say how large a bank is, on different dates. The page shows both and doesn’t reconcile them.
What counts as confirmed
A trait counts as confirmed when the research recorded it as met or partially met against a cited source.
Timing signals
A signal type counts once per bank, when the research found at least one dated signal of that type. Signals outside the ten types aren’t broken out.
The ladder
Stages come from each bank’s own operating numbers. The efficiency ratio is what a bank spends to earn each dollar of revenue, so higher is worse.
Small samples
Any view resting on fewer than 20 banks is hatched and flagged. The number is still exact; read it as anecdote rather than pattern.
Company size
Smaller, mid-market and larger are the research’s own size bands. They are a separate reading from the directory’s asset bands, which is why both are here.
No bank is named
Each row is banded and anonymous, and this page counts rows without ever listing them. The fifteen banks published elsewhere in the example aren’t marked here.
No bank is named on this page. Figures are as of 21 September 2026. The company doing the selling, TieOut, is invented. The banks, the records and the dates are real public information.
