Method: every company was audited independently against the same 122-item Business Health Exam scorecard, then compared only on the 51 checks every company in this market could be assessed on. A check that couldn't be assessed for a company is excluded from that comparison, never counted as a zero. Company names are withheld — these businesses did not ask to be scored.
