FAQ
What is the difference between absolute and relative ratings?
An absolute rating measures performance against a fixed standard. In simpler terms, it can be scoring 85/100 on a test.
A relative rating compares performance to others. For example, when someone ranks in the top 10% of a group.
Absolute = Individual Benchmark
Relative = Comparison with Peers
