Index working

The Clinical Benchmarks Index is this site's own calculation: a weighted average of the board scores times a multiplier for the boards behind it. How it is computed

Index
39.6 × 0.408 = 16.2

Score: the result on the board’s own 0 to 100 scale. Dot: this model; tick: the board’s leader. Weight: how much the board counts in the weighted average; bold where the board is near its ceiling and counts for less. Each result links to its quote and page; the line under it is the setting it was measured with.
