PTM Intelligence · PRIME
Every ranking is derived, not asserted.
This page walks the path every company walks: evidence, gates, scoring, tier, rank. Nothing else touches the number. Scroll to derive one.
The derivation
Stage 01 · Evidence
0.0 /100
No score exists yet.
01
It starts at zero.
Before a single point is awarded, a structured dossier is built: the claims, and the citations that carry them. Every score traces to cited evidence, not surveys. The ledger is bidirectional, so a source can be walked back to every claim it supports.
Every published score carries a citation trail and a confidence band of high, medium, or low. Low confidence is shown as a reliability signal, not hidden. Where evidence is insufficient, a score is held at the prior cycle or withheld until it is verified.
02
Four gates before a single point.
Scoring never begins until four eligibility gates clear. A gate failure ends the process. Borderline cases route to editorial review, never to a forced pass.
03
One hundred points, five dimensions.
The published rubric awards up to one hundred points: Product 25, Revenue 25, Innovation 20, Market 20, Enterprise 10. The weights are fixed. No company sees a different rubric. Keep scrolling and the specimen earns its score, dimension by dimension.
Workflow coverage, daily operating value, vertical specificity, displacement of legacy tools.
ARR scale, year-over-year growth, net revenue retention, gross margin.
AI and ML depth, proprietary data advantage, patent activity, release velocity.
Brand recognition, customer quality, investor calibre, strategic partnerships.
Enterprise readiness, derived from the parallel PTM Threshold rubric.
PRIME E axis = Threshold Score x 0.10
04
The score maps to a band. Nothing else does.
Tiers are fixed bands on the published scale. No jury, no discretion, no exceptions for scale or sponsorship.
05
Written once per cycle. Then monitored.
Rank is stored at publication and never adjusted between cycles. Signals and Movers record the interval. This derivation is the specimen's real, published result.
The editorial firewall
Sponsors purchase visibility.
Never findings.
PRIME findings are editorially independent. Sponsorship, advertising, and commercial relationships never influence a score, a rank, a tier, the evidence, or eligibility. Commercial state lives on a separate record and never touches the research.
Sponsorship cannot
- Change a PRIME score
- Move a rank or tier
- Alter a roster decision
- Edit the methodology
