What's driving this score
- Comp-to-revenue ratio of 23.9% 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:
- Separate signing authority from fundraising authority when both are held by one person — removes the concentration penalty (~12 points).
- Reduce top-officer compensation from 23.9% to under 22% of revenue — would move governance score by ~5 points.
Improving governance is a board decision. These are the levers.
