Component scores
Each of the eight WHO core components is scored out of 100, which is what shows you where your programme is strong and where it is weak.
The total out of 800 tells you roughly where the programme stands. The eight component scores tell you what to do about it.
The bar chart and the radar chart on the assessment page and the executive report show all eight at once, so a component that is far behind the others is obvious at a glance. The table beneath every chart carries the same numbers for anyone who cannot read the chart.
Reading them
- A component near 100 is well implemented; keep it there.
- A component in the middle usually means the structure exists but is not applied everywhere.
- A component near 0 usually means the element is absent rather than weak, which is often quicker to fix than it looks.
