Contributed, not scraped
A figure enters the Index only when the organisation it belongs to submits it and grants the benchmark-contribution consent for it. Nothing is inferred from your assessment, your roadmap or your requirements.
Benchmarks, when there is something to benchmark.
Vector Index is where operating measures for India capability centres will be published: what a cohort of comparable centres actually reports, with the definition, the period and the number of contributors alongside it. This page is the method. The data does not exist yet.
Nothing is published today.
Read this before you look for a number
GCC Vector publishes no benchmark, no percentile, no peer comparison and no count of builds we have supposedly measured. Not on this page, not on an assessment result, not in the Navigator, not on a provider card. We have not collected permissioned data yet, so there is nothing honest to publish, and we would rather show you an empty page than a plausible one.
No cohort has been published yet
Cohorts appear here once enough organisations have contributed comparable figures for one to be reported without identifying any of them. Until then this shell stays empty on purpose.
Vector Assess scores your readiness against a published rulebook and shows you the reasoning for every point. That is a score against a rule, not a comparison with anyone else, and the result page says so.
The six rules a measure has to clear.
Comparable before it is comparative
A measure is only published for a cohort — a city, a sector, a seat band, a function — once it has a written definition, one unit and one period. Two organisations counting a seat differently do not make a benchmark.
A floor before a number
No cohort is published until enough distinct organisations have contributed to it that no single contributor can be identified from the result, and until the contributions span more than one period. Below the floor the cohort stays empty and says so.
Ranges, not point estimates
Where a cohort clears the floor, the Index will publish a range and the number of contributors behind it. A single figure with no spread and no count is a claim, not a benchmark.
Dated and re-collected
Every published measure carries the period it covers and the date it was last collected. A measure that is not re-collected goes stale on the page rather than quietly ageing.
Withdrawable
Withdrawing benchmark-contribution consent removes your figures from the next computation. If that takes a cohort below the floor, the cohort goes back to empty.
How contributing will work.
Contribution is not open yet. When it opens it will work like this, and the consent it depends on already exists in the platform as a first-class, withdrawable record.
- 1Grant the consent. Benchmark contribution is a separate, named consent. It is never bundled with signing in, saving a result or inviting a provider, and nothing in the product is withheld if you decline.
- 2Submit the measure. You enter a figure against a published definition, for a period, from your own workspace. You can see everything you have contributed and when.
- 3It is held, not shown. Your figure is stored against your organisation. It is not visible to anyone outside it, and it does not appear anywhere until its cohort clears the floor.
- 4The cohort is published. When a cohort clears the floor, the Index publishes its range, its period and its contributor count. Your own figure is never shown next to your name.
If you run a centre and want to help define the first cohorts — the measures, the definitions and the floor — write to support@gccvector.in. Shaping the definitions is more useful to us right now than a figure is.
An invented benchmark is worse than none.
Companies make nine-figure commitments on this evidence. A number with no cohort behind it looks exactly like a number with one, and by the time anybody finds out it was neither, the decision has been made. Our handling of consent and withdrawal is on the privacy page; how we keep ranking and verification apart from money is on the neutrality page.
