- Research error: The material was within our stated review scope on the review date, and we misread or missed it. The score is corrected and the review date stays the same.
- New evidence supplied: The material existed on the review date but sat outside the scope we searched (for example, nothing on the English IR pages linked to it), and someone pointed us to it. The score changes from the date we confirm it.
- Disclosure improved: The company published new or better English material after the review date. The score changes from the date we confirm it, and the earlier score stays on record.
- Rule change: The scoring rules changed (a new version, dated on the scoring rules page) and the score was re-checked under the new rule. The score changes from the date of the new version, and the earlier score stays on record.
Each score change records its label, date and previous score. See Contact and corrections.
A research correction or a rule change changes our record, not the company’s disclosure. A score that rises for either reason is never described as an improvement by the company; only a change labelled “Disclosure improved” reflects something the company did.
