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.
7 claims on this sheet, by grade: E1 1 E2 2 E3 3 E5 3 Counts sum above 7 because 2 claims cite more than one grade.
- Zagreb HQ, founded 2007; BPTO vertical of BOSQAR INVEST d.d. (BOSQAR d.d., ZSE: BSQR), which names Mplus as its BPTO/AI business vertical. Conflict logged on the founding date: the company homepage states 25 years of operational CX experience, pointing at roughly 2001 rather than 2007. Both figures are Mplus’s own Split grade. E1 for the listing and the group’s BPTO characterisation: Zagreb Stock Exchange instrument page for BOSQAR d.d. (ticker BSQR, ISIN HRMRULRB0008, Official Market, continuous trading), which describes the issuer as operating in business and technology process outsourcing. E3 for the Zagreb head office and the 2007 founding date, which are company-stated: no registry extract supports them, and the founding date is contradicted by the company’s own homepage E1E3
- ~12,800 employees, 42 centers, 13 countries, 32+ languages — figures from Mplus’s April 2025 acquisition boilerplate, which its current materials no longer repeat: the homepage publishes 257M EUR 2025 revenue and no headcount, centre, country or language count Mplus April 2025 acquisition boilerplate, relayed by Outsource Accelerator and Directors Club News (24 Apr 2025). Graded E3 rather than E2: two outlets carrying the same company boilerplate is one company-stated claim printed twice, not two independent sources E3
- 2025 acquisitions: Conectart, the largest Czech BPO, at 1,200 full-time employees and EUR 23m 2024 revenue, and Valoris Center (Romania). Conflict logged on footprint: the acquisition announcement states 22 locations across Czechia, Slovakia and Poland, while Conectart's own site lists 14 across the same three countries Mplus acquisition announcement on mplusgroup.eu, 15 Apr 2025, for the headcount and revenue; "largest Czech BPO" independently stated on conectart.cz E2E3
- Client evidence: sector concentration telco/finance/energy stated; no named clients found in any public material, including the annual report Mplus and BOSQAR INVEST public materials including the annual report, searched for named clients; sector concentration is stated, no client is named. checked during the 12–26 August 2026 evidence window E5
- Review platforms: no meaningful Clutch/G2 footprint — confirmed absence; no analyst-evaluation coverage found Clutch and G2 provider profiles, plus published Everest, ISG and NelsonHall evaluations; no meaningful review footprint and no analyst assessment located. checked during the 12–26 August 2026 evidence window An absence established by our own search of the platforms, not a third party attesting to it — graded E5 under the scale’s “not published, verify directly”, which is what an absence finding is. E5
- Certifications: none found on public pages or in the annual report. Units almost certainly hold ISO 27001, but nothing is published, so nothing is scored Mplus public pages and the BOSQAR INVEST annual report, searched for any certification claim or certificate identifier; none published. checked during the 12–26 August 2026 evidence window E5
- Employee platforms: Glassdoor carries three unmerged entities for this provider — Mplus Group (E5759267) at 2.4 across 22 reviews with 25% recommend, M+ Group (E2879694) at 3.3 across 17 reviews under the former name, and Mplus (E6612538) at 5 reviews. Reviewer locations on the largest profile are Belgrade and Bucharest, matching the delivery footprint. Local CEE employer platforms carry more volume than any of the three Glassdoor profiles E5759267, E2879694 and E6612538, read 28 Aug 2026. The largest sample governs under the published A4.1 source-selection rule; 22 reviews is thin, and the anchor’s thin-data provision caps at 3 rather than discarding a sample E2
Where this provider stands out
Computed from this provider’s anchor scores against the 8-provider field it is scored in, from the 7 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
- claim verifiability A5.1 4/5 — 0.5 above the field median of 3.5; joint highest, with 3 of 7 others
- organizational & commercial transparency A5.2 4/5 — 0.5 above the field median of 3.5; joint highest, with 3 of 7 others
Furthest below the field
- external recognition A2.3 1/5 — 4 below the field median of 5; joint lowest, with 1 of 7 others
- review substance A1.2 0/5 — 3 below the field median of 3; joint lowest, with 1 of 7 others
- information security A3.1 1/5 — 2 below the field median of 3; lowest in the field
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 | 1 / 0 / 1 | 1.8 | 14 | |
| A2 | Market presence & tenure | 5 / 5 / 1 | 5.6 | 8 | |
| A3 | Certifications & compliance | 1 / 1 / 1 | 2.4 | 12 | Scored on published evidence only. Certificates are very likely held but are not published anywhere findable, and the framework scores what is published. |
| A4 | Delivery stability | 0 / 5 | 3 | 6 | Three unmerged Glassdoor entities cover this provider: 'Mplus Group' (E5759267) at 2.4 across 22 reviews, 'M+ Group' (E2879694) at 3.3 across 17, and 'Mplus' (E6612538) at 5. The largest governs under the A4.1 source-selection rule, giving 2.4 — below 3.0 and anchor 0. Read 28 Aug 2026, and identical on .com and .co.in, so the national domain is a locale rather than a filter. The sample is thin; the thin-data rule caps at 3 rather than discarding, which does not bind here. |
| A5 | Transparency & verifiability | 4 / 4 | 4 | 5 | Public-company reporting is this provider’s transparency strength. |
| B1 | Service scope & channels | 3 / 3 / 3 | 4.8 | 8 | |
| B2 | Language & geographic reach | 3 / 5 / 4 | 7.8 | 10 | |
| B3 | Quality management system | 3 / 3 / 3 | 6 | 10 | |
| B4 | Security & data protection operations | 2 / 1 / 3 | 3.4 | 8 | |
| B5 | Flexibility & commercial model | 2 / 3 / 1 | 2.8 | 7 | |
| B6 | Technology & AI operations | 3 / 2 / 3 | 3.6 | 7 | |
| B7 | Vertical expertise | 4 / 3 | 3.6 | 5 |
Axis A subtotal 16.8 of 45 · Axis B subtotal 32 of 55 · total 48.8 of 100. Each weighted figure is (anchor score ÷ 5) × sub-criterion weight, summed — the rule printed in the appendix.
Flags and open questions
- This score is a publication gap, not a capability judgement. Publishing certificates and named clients would raise it materially through the corrections process — that is the system working as designed.
- Delivery consistency across units integrated in the last eighteen months is not publicly demonstrable.
- Largest remaining evidence gap: Certifications and named clients unpublished
Reading of the evidence
The scale is real and E1-verified; almost everything else about delivery quality is unpublished. The profile verdict survives as a segment verdict, but the score reflects the evidence gap. If this provider engages the corrections process with certificates and named clients, the score legitimately rises. That is the system working.
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.
