How the Intelligence Score Works
The Score (1-100)
Every company receives an Intelligence Score from 1 to 100, computed across 219 parameters in 18 categories. Higher scores indicate more complete and positive intelligence — not necessarily a "better" company, but one with more transparent, healthy signals.
The 18 Categories
Each category is scored independently (1-100):
1. Leadership Quality — Executive experience, tenure, board composition 2. Financial Health — Revenue trends, profitability, funding history 3. Talent Patterns — Hiring velocity, retention signals, team growth 4. Market Position — Market share, competitive standing, brand strength 5. Technology Stack — Tech adoption, digital maturity, innovation signals 6. Operational Maturity — Process quality, compliance, certifications 7. Growth Trajectory — Revenue growth, expansion signals, market entry 8. Risk Profile — Legal, regulatory, financial risks 9. Culture Signals — Employee sentiment, Glassdoor, work-life indicators 10. Compensation — Pay benchmarks, equity, benefits competitiveness 11. Innovation — Patents, R&D spend, product launches 12. Customer Health — NPS, retention, satisfaction signals 13. Brand Strength — Media presence, social signals, reputation 14. Hiring Activity — Open roles, hiring velocity, skill demand 15. Retention — Employee tenure, attrition signals 16. Competitive Edge — Differentiators, moat analysis 17. Digital Presence — Web traffic, SEO, social following 18. ESG & Compliance — Environmental, social, governance signals
Confidence Level
Each score includes a confidence percentage showing data completeness. Higher confidence means more data points were available for that category.
