Ranking of the analysis

The ranking of the analysis is based on the Valuatum points system. Each followed company is ranked separately, so if one analyst is following many companies, then he/she will get different points for each company. The points are given in different categories:

  1. Points generated automatically* (based on relative accuracy of estimates vs actual, errors detected etc.)
  2. Points given by the customers
  3. Points given by the administrators (Valuatum or partnering independent research companies, click for more info)

* Automatic points are currently in the development/test phase so they are not yet actively used in ranking the analysis.


Total points

Total points are (later on) calculated as an average from different categories. Different categories are weighted so that each category is not equally important. In the beginning most of the points are given by administrators and therefore their weight is close to 100%, but as there comes more and more data and more paying customers, then the automated points and points by customers will take the main role and admin-points will eventually be weighted by 0%.

The analysis will be sorted according to overall points, and each company will have 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. analysts, depending on how many points each analyst will get. The better the points and thus a position analyst has, the better the visibility and rewarding of the analysis. So currently the ranking in this sense in done with the admin-points, but customer-points and automatic points are taken into account later on.


Automatic points

The other point categories are very straightforward but automatic points probably need to be explained in more detail.

Automatic Points will be given automatically at least in following subcategories:

  1. Estimate accuracy
  2. Recommendation accuracy
  3. Adequacy and validity of data
  4. Comments

Here will later on be more information available of the automatic points system.


Ranking of analysis vs. Ranking of companies

Please notice the difference between ranking analysis and companies. Ranking analysis is in practice same as giving points (see above) for the analysts.

Ranking companies however means that the analyzed companies are sorted by different criteria for example in All Companies Collection page. Assuming that the estimates are well-done, it tells what companies are the best ones using the criteria in question.
