How the score is built
A hundred points, and this is how they are allocated. One question asked three ways — did the product make the shortlist, how high on it, and was it in the top three — each measured across every Performance Management answer, so 100 would mean named first in all of them.

- Position is ignored here. Named last counts exactly as much as named first.
- Prominence15%
- How high on the shortlist?Mean reciprocal rank: named first scores 1, second a half, third a third, and an answer that never names it scores nothing.

- Divided by every answer in the category, not only the ones it appears in. The conditional version rewards being named rarely and early.

- The strictest of the three. A zero means never in the opening three — not never named.
The 70/15/15 split is a judgment, not a fitted parameter — and a safe one: equal weight and position-heavy weightings return this same leaderboard, at a rank correlation above 0.99. Why, and what was tested
