The following are the general principles applied in rating:

  1. Activity must be observable, measurable or verifiable to be scored, with sufficient detail made available to warrant scoring.
  2. Activity is assessed based on a clear and reasonable link to the delivery of the core service.  Elements that are similar in nature and type or comprise a program are grouped together.
  3. The rating reflects the actual status of MSO activity or service and not its potential.
  4. Each component was scored for all MSOs to which it applied before proceeding to the next component to ensure the internal consistency of each scale.
  5. Some additional components were considered but, because they did not produce significant differences between organizations, were not used for rating purposes.
