Aggregated scores are specifically designed to enable structured, evidence-based decision-making. 

They can be used to: 

  • Identify strengths and gaps relative to peers 
  • Guide resource allocation (e.g., where to engage, improve, or invest) 
  • Inform the strategic target for prioritization 

Because aggregated scores are built on standardized and comparable inputs (e.g., normalized metrics, consistent scoring logic), they provide a reliable basis for strategic decisions rather than anecdotal interpretation.

However, they are most effective when used as: 

  • A high-level decision-making tool, complemented by 
  • In-depth analysis of individual rankings for operational execution 

In this way, aggregated scores serve as the bridge between complex ranking data and actionable strategy.
