# How are Top Performer benchmarks calculated?

## Top Performers are identified through CoScore, and provide useful benchmarks that help you see where you excel and where you might have opportunity.

## What does "top performers" mean in benchmarks?

 "Top performers" values are an average of the top 25% of companies in the selected period, as determined by CoScore. 

Based on the basket of metrics that comprise CoScore, the top 25% of companies are typically strong performers — organizations that demonstrate strong performance across CoScore metrics — and they serve as the benchmark. This same group is used for **all** the metrics you are viewing.  To see the full distribution for a particular metric, quartile charts are available for each metric in the Benchmarks section. These charts are based on actual data points rather than an average.
