Rank and Rating Explained

RANK
Rank is an indicator of total capability. Higher ranked companies have larger staffs, more certifications and can handle more difficult or larger tasks than lower ranked companies. However, rank is not a measure of performance, it is an indicator of company resources. Higher ranked companies generally get larger jobs than lower ranked companies.

Minimum Staff Requirements per rank:

5 Star
Top 1000 Vendors - The absolute largest vendors in the Tech Army. Able to handle business in large regions or nationwide.
4 Star
20+ Certified Network Engineers from at least 1 Major Platform*
20+ Installer staff - Summary: A large computer or AV tech staff, very capable in multiple cities.

3 Star
5-10 Certified Network Engineers from at least 1 Major Platform*
5-20 Installer staff - Summary: A very capable computer or AV staff tech staff often in more than one location.

2 Star

2-5 Certified Network Engineers from at least 1 Major Platform*
2-5 Installer staff - Summary: Small but local computer or AV tech staff.

1 Star
1-2 Computer Repair/Installer/Troubleshooter Technician services
Summary: A reliable local support person(s).

RATING
Rating is 1 to 9 based on performance. One being the highest, nine being the lowest.
Higher rated companies, get the most opportunities. So rating is more important that rank.

RANK and RATING System
The company rank and rating is in the form of a XSY, where X equals the Rank and Y equals the Rating.

For example a 5S1 would be the highest combined rank and rating possible. But companies with a 1 in the rating would be better qualified than a higher ranked company with a lower rating. A 2S1 would be more likely to be awarded jobs than a 4S9.

The most common "easy" tech jobs can be handled by a 1 or 2 Star Ranked company because they offer more personal service than larger 5 star companies.

In the case of a simple repair or connectivity issue the rating plays a more pivotal role than the Rank. For example, reloading a single windows client more often would be assigned to a 1S1 than a 5S1. Larger jobs like a 100 user migration would be awarded to higher ranked companies like a 4S1.
