Methodology | Local and Domestic Content List
Our methodology is anchored in a foundation of local content readiness performance and proprietary public sentiment data analysis through Local Content Insights. We ensure that our Local and Domestic Content List is a true reflection of readiness meeting compliance.
I. Earn Your Local Content Certification
The Local Content Certification scoring system is based on the Compliance Score Assessment, which evaluates a business's local content readiness across four Location-Based Regulatory Compliance KPIs:
II. Finalist Selection and Public Sentiment Analysis
Nominees with the highest Local Content Certification Assessment scores are confirmed, and finalist rankings are determined through a comprehensive analysis conducted via our Local Content Insights solution. This solution leverages data on public sentiment, media coverage, and digital engagement to assess the impact and effectiveness of each nominee’s efforts, resulting in a "positive public sentiment score" calculated as a percentage.
These insights ensure that finalists represent the highest levels of influence and alignment with local and domestic content priorities. The top semi-finalist with the highest positive public sentiment score is selected as one of our finalist honorees. Finalists are publicly announced as a group; however, individual public sentiment scores are not shared. Instead, these scores are privately shared with finalists to support their local and domestic content efforts.
