SIAI to Host Ranking News Methodology Briefing
Published
The Swiss Institute of Artificial Intelligence will host an online methodology briefing for firms nominated or recognized across Ranking News and its specialist ranking publications, including Advisory Ranking, Capital Ranking, Healthcare Ranking, and Wealth Ranking.
The session will be led by Professor Keith Lee of the Gordon School of Business at SIAI. It is intended to provide corporate communications, marketing, strategy, and leadership teams with a clearer understanding of how the rankings are designed, evaluated, and reviewed.
Topics covered
The briefing will explain:
- how ranking categories and eligible candidate groups are defined;
- how firms are identified and compared within specialist professional markets;
- how multiple quantitative and qualitative indicators are incorporated into a comparative assessment;
- how normalization, weighting, dimensionality reduction, and related statistical methods support ranking construction;
- how editorial judgment and factual review are applied to statistical outputs; and
- how editorial ranking decisions are maintained separately from recognition licensing and commercial communications.
The session will focus on the general methodological framework used across the Ranking News network. Proprietary scoring details, confidential source data, and the individual assessment of any particular firm will not be disclosed.
