The results can be viewed as either Incumbent Weighted or Organization Weighted. Incumbent Weighted equally weights each incumbent, which may lead to comparator dominance in the market. To fix this particular scenario please use Organization weighted view, which helps to remove market dominance by one or more competitors.

The tool indicates the competitor market dominance by a single asterisk. A double asterisk indicates a mandatory data masking on account of either market dominance or low number of organizations/incumbents in the market.

Organization weighted statistics better reflect company policies, while incumbent weighted describes the reality of the labor market.
