Glossary · Self-reported Metrics

Self-reported Metrics

Self-reported metrics are performance figures a vendor publishes about its own product, which buyers cannot independently verify and which carry an inherent conflict of interest.

Because the party reporting the number benefits from it looking good, self-reported metrics are weak evidence of quality compared with independent measurement.

WorkForce replaces self-reported claims with verified scores from sealed evaluations, which buyers and platforms can audit.
