Peer comparison
Compared to 75 other orgs in MD with NTEE prefix A6.
Most-divergent component: program score sits 18 points above the peer median (45 vs. 27).
5-year trend: Steady State

What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 28.4% is modestly above the sector's healthy band (18–22%) — worth monitoring.
What would change this score
The two changes that would most improve this score:
- Reduce top-officer compensation from 28.4% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~13 points.
- Separate signing authority from fundraising authority when both are held by one person — removes the concentration penalty (~12 points).
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
