It's just like calculating your credit score, except for bonds (since a bond is technically a loan.)

Basically, they determine the likelihood that the company or municipality will default on the payments or go bankrupt. The lower the likelihood (i.e. if the company has a history of success and the economy is good) the better the bond.
