Questions about the benchmark.

[01] How honest is the peer comparison? +

Honest. We name the sample size per metric in the report. When we don't have enough peers in your sector, we say so and benchmark against a broader cohort instead of inventing precision.

[02] Do you publish our score? +

Never. Your score is yours. The anonymised aggregate that feeds the peer benchmark for others is opt-in only and stripped of identifying details.

[03] Can we use the score as audit evidence? +

Partially. The DORA and security posture sections are useful audit input. The benchmark itself is not an audit; it is an internal management tool.

[04] What if the score is terrible? +

Then the remediation plan is bigger. We have run benchmarks where the right answer was 'start over with the Cloud Kickstarter,' and we will say so when that is the honest call.
