The links in the post are all I have to go on. Seems like the common sense essence of their work is that when the market-based value of the debt plus the equity drops below the book value of the debt that the risk of default is substantial. [Although this is not what the article states]. The term enterprise value is used, but I'm not sure this means the same thing to everyone that uses it.
The volatility of the stock [and perhaps the bonds] would imply a probablility distribution of future prices. Their proprietary stuff would allow a precise probability estimate. Somehow I doubt they're going to post that info on this board, but maybe we can muddle together a way to somewhat confirm the Z-score using this market based info.
