The compass is the synthesis of the reading: a nine-axis radar, one per sub-group, each scored as a safety percentage.
How to read it
Each axis corresponds to a sub-group. A high value indicates a healthy sub-group; a low value, a struggling sub-group. The overall shape matters more than any single value.
The four risk zones
A common scale orders the reading:
- Comfort : from 75 to 100. The sub-group holds.
- Intermediate : from 50 to 74. The sub-group deserves attention.
- Alert : from 25 to 49. The sub-group is a lever for action.
- Danger : from 0 to 24. The sub-group is the first to address.
An example
The radar displayed on the site uses the engine's demo dataset: a complete, coherent company whose overall score is 63 out of 100, in the intermediate zone.
It is not a real company, it is a demonstration.
What the compass is not
A value is not a verdict. The compass is for triage, for knowing where to start, not for sorting companies into good and bad pupils.
It also helps clarify certain strategic decisions, whether internal projects, investment or acquisition/divestiture: having a quantified idea of a decision's impacts lets you steer while being as informed as possible.
