flat earns a 10, 5pp of swing a 1

What this ranking is not

It is not advice, and a high place is not a recommendation. A company can lead on one measure and fail on every other; that is the reason this site scores five dimensions rather than one and lets you weigh them yourself.

It also ranks only what has been read. A company whose filings are not in this database cannot appear here however well it would have done, and a company whose filing does not tag this figure is absent rather than last.
