A Blueprint for Success
Each organization receives a comprehensive MERIT report from the Calvin University Center for Social Research.
The report contains MERIT results for an organization, including an overall result, scales, subscales, and results for individual questions. It also contains scores from the overall Green House Linked Up Network, consisting of all other sites that participated in MERIT that year.

The report allows an organization to benchmark against other Green House, sites as well as against its own previous results over the previous three years. Each organization also receives a report of participant comments.
MERIT Staff Assessment results are based on a 5-point scale, with 5.0 as the best possible score. Organizations additionally receive a report of participant comments to supplement the objective measurements.
