Assessment and Ranking Criteria
The evaluation relies on a unique scoring logic based solely on objective data derived from actual inquiry and order rates over the past ten months.
To ensure transparency and fairness, the scoring employs Bayesian estimation to correct potential biases between large and small companies. This combination ensures a balanced comparison and accurate results.
Conclusion and Looking Ahead
As this mid-term announcement serves as an early reflection of the ongoing data collection process, the positions and scores may still fluctuate leading up to the final announcement on November 30. Companies are encouraged to focus on increasing both their order rates and inquiry counts for a chance at recognition, which ultimately contributes to improved services for their clients.
