• Enter the corresponding overall score for the indicator.

The conversion table applies to indicators using M2 (AV) scoring methodology only. Using it for indicators designated for M1 (WL) will result in an incorrect score. The conversion table is intended for use on individual indicators only and is not suitable for aggregating scores across the full set, or subsets, of indicators. No standard methodology has been developed for aggregation across indicators because each indicator measures a different subject and has no standard, quantitative relationship with other indicators.
