Distance from FWUR composite
Diagnostic onlyPer-agency absolute distance from the trimmed-mean composite, in score space (0–100). Display only — does not feed back into the composite or any agency-quality measure. Lower means the agency reads this institution closer to the consensus.

- THE5,3
- CWUR24,2
- RUR3,9

Why the divergence?
Research output, citations, and bibliometric coverage.
Academic and employer reputation surveys.
Mixed pillars including outcome and balance metrics.
Cycle alignment: agencies' latest publications mix years (2025/2026). Treat year-over-year deltas with care.
FWUR is a transparent synthesis of six published rankings — not a direct measurement of educational or research quality.
