Organization descriptors
size of the organization (percentile among MD systems)
workload handled (percentile) — not quality
how much verified public data backs it
These describe size and workload, not performance. A larger or busier department is not “better” — the peer list exists precisely so any comparison is against organizations of similar scale.
