What Happen does

Under its former name LendingClub it bought Radius Bank in 2021, which let it fund loans with deposits rather than rely on investors alone.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
