Fair Isaac Corporation, known as FICO, sells credit scores and analytics software that help businesses make decisions about customers and transactions. Founded in 1956, the company is led by Chief Executive Officer William J. Lansing.

The FICO Score is a measure of consumer credit risk in the United States. Lenders use it when deciding whether to extend credit and how to manage existing accounts. FICO applies its algorithms to credit information held by consumer reporting agencies to produce scores; it generally does not collect or store the underlying consumer credit data itself. Consumers can also buy scores and credit-monitoring services through myFICO.com.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
