What to review
Check the scale, decision boundary and whether any mandatory conditions apply separately. Ask how borderline or incomplete cases are handled.
A practical example
A programme can require both a total score and evidence on a particular safeguard. Meeting the total alone may not satisfy every condition.
Keep the claim in scope
Do not transfer a threshold between different studies. Identical numbers can represent different measures.
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.
