Unit meaning: A source-reported value from 0 to 100 for the declared category population; it is category coverage, not item, revenue, sales-volume or customer coverage.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: GRI 417: Marketing and Labeling 2016, current effective edition at the research cutoff.

  • Define the significant-category population and taxonomy.
  • Name the procedure and assessment-completion rule.
  • Use only source-reported percentages unless compatible component counts and a method are disclosed.

Record-specific limitations

  • The value depends on category significance, procedure coverage and assessment-completion definitions.
  • It does not measure information accuracy, comprehension, compliance outcomes or item-level coverage.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
