English term

heroic assumptions

English to Spanish Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
En este texto se habla de utilizar modelos para decidir si se debe prestar dinero a una empresa.

"You would plug in data, and the model would come out with a credit grade. If you step back a bit, you realize that you have to make some heroic assumptions to be able to do this."

¿Podría ser algo así como "formular hipótesis osadas/audaces"? ¿O qué quiere decir?

Gracias.
