What to review
Start with the assessed universe and period, then examine indicators, decision rules and limitations. Check the result against those boundaries.
A practical example
An enterprise ranking based on market capitalisation cannot also establish the best workplace. Both questions may matter, but they need different research.
Keep the claim in scope
Use the method to define the claim. Do not search for a broad claim and retrofit a methodology afterwards.
Research and editorial context
A result is meaningful within its methodology. Match the research question, assessed universe and measurement period before making a comparison. These reference notes explain evaluation concepts; they do not add indicators, weights or thresholds to any published WCRC study.
Examples illustrate a decision and do not describe a named organisation's conduct. This is a reference note, not a new research finding or an award outcome.
