Evidence on file
Each line is a datapoint with its grade. Grades are the ones the anchors act on: a sub-criterion scored 5 requires at least one E1 or E2 source, and evidence that is entirely E3 caps the sub-criterion at 3.
12 claims on this sheet, by grade: E1 7 E2 4 E3 3 E5 3 Counts sum above 12 because 5 claims cite more than one grade.

Where this provider stands out
Computed from this provider’s anchor scores against the 29-provider field it is scored in, from the 12 public claims above: the sub-criteria where it sits furthest above the field median, and furthest below. Selection is by distance from the field, not by raw score — a 5 where most of the field scores 5 says nothing. These are scores for what a provider publishes, so a low score can mean a weak record or a quiet one, and this block cannot tell them apart.
Furthest above the field
- native-language delivery B2.1 5/5 — 2 above the field median of 3; joint highest, with 6 of 28 others
- employee-side signal A4.1 3/5 — 2 above the field median of 1
- residency & subprocessors B4.2 4/5 — 2 above the field median of 2; highest in the field
Furthest below the field
No sub-criterion sits below the field median.
Criterion scores
Sub-criterion anchor scores in criterion order, with the weighted criterion total computed from them. Multiply each anchor by its sub-criterion weight over five and sum: that is the whole arithmetic, and it is why this total can be checked without taking anyone's word.

Axis A subtotal 33.6 of 45 · Axis B subtotal 42.6 of 55 · total 76.2 of 100. Each weighted figure is (anchor score ÷ 5) × sub-criterion weight, summed — the rule printed in the appendix.

Every line above is meant to be checkable. If a datapoint is wrong, out of date, or missing a certificate identifier we could not find, the corrections process is open: submit the evidence and the score is re-derived through the anchors. Facts are correctable; scores follow facts.
