Scores 0–100 appear after each company completes the assessment.
Structure of the rating
A company’s score will be out of 100 points, earned across eight dimensions. The bar below is those 100 points; each segment is the most a dimension can give. Nothing is scored yet — this shows only how the points will be split. Weights are a research hypothesis and are versioned (2026.10.1); they are never changed silently.
