Knowing the benchmark means knowing true performance.
GrowingScore benchmarks grower production by normalizing the influence of weather and other uncontrollable factors, to reveal the actual performance attributable to farming practices. By benchmarking grower production history, firms can highlight meaningful trends. When grower benchmarks are consistent, the result is lower risk and better outcomes.
Understand grower performance within the context of benchmarks.
While this grower’s actual production for 2014 looks low when compared to typical performance, it’s a relatively successful 60th percentile when contextualized with the other years’ benchmarks.
