Set by Tradoshi under a public methodology, from verifiable sources: every criterion has its scale, its source and the date it was read. The school cannot change it; it can dispute a criterion by providing a fact and evidence.
Each pillar is the average of its rated criteria, out of 5. A pillar that is not rated is left out of the calculation, and the other pillars' weights are scaled back to 100%.
