ranked last, because a filing that does not carry a number is not a company that scores

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.

cannot appear here however well it would have done, and a company whose filing does not
tag this figure is absent rather than last.
