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.

9 claims on this sheet, by grade: E1 2 E2 1 E3 3 E5 3

Where this provider stands out

Computed from this provider’s anchor scores against the 29-provider field it is scored in, from the 9 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

  • payment & data handling A3.2 4/5 — 2 above the field median of 2; joint highest, with 1 of 28 others
  • 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

Furthest below the field

  • roadmap credibility B6.3 3/5 — 1 below the field median of 4; joint lowest, with 9 of 28 others

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.

Code Criterion Sub-criterion anchors Weighted Max Note
A1 Independent client evidence 3 / 3 / 2 7.6 14 A1.1 and A1.2 anchor at 3 under the published enterprise-equivalence rule: client-reference validation inside a major analyst evaluation substitutes for a review-platform footprint at this scale.
A2 Market presence & tenure 5 / 5 / 5 8 8
A3 Certifications & compliance 3 / 4 / 3 8 12 A3 is scored on three sub-criteria; see the appendix for why.
A4 Delivery stability 3 / 5 4.8 6
A5 Transparency & verifiability 4 / 4 4 5 Scored on the two published A5 sub-criteria; the appendix carries no questionnaire component.
B1 Service scope & channels 5 / 4 / 4 7 8
B2 Language & geographic reach 5 / 5 / 5 10 10
B3 Quality management system 4 / 3 / 4 7.4 10
B4 Security & data protection operations 4 / 3 / 4 6 8
B5 Flexibility & commercial model 1 / 4 / 1 2.6 7
B6 Technology & AI operations 4 / 3 / 3 4.6 7
B7 Vertical expertise 4 / 4 4 5

Axis A subtotal 32.4 of 45 · Axis B subtotal 41.6 of 55 · total 74 of 100. Each weighted figure is (anchor score ÷ 5) × sub-criterion weight, summed — the rule printed in the appendix.

Flags and open questions

  • A1 carries 14 points and would otherwise penalise every enterprise incumbent for an absent review-platform footprint. The published enterprise-equivalence rule was adopted before any full scoring and logged, because changing it after scores existed would have looked like tuning.
  • Certification scope per hub unverified.
  • Largest remaining evidence gap: Certification scope per hub unpublished; commercial terms unpublished

Challenge this sheet

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.
