Blank Carrots
Here’s a paraphrased version of a comment Steve made over on Flying J’s carrot:
When a carrot is applied to one gas company, is it also applied to any of the other gas companies? Doesn’t seem like it. I don’t see negative carrots or blank carrot in anyone’s profiles.
I haven’t poked around the site too much yet, but my initial feeling is that the companies in the same sector need to be compared on the same criteria, rather than just a raw number of positive awards.
Could you educate my lazy brain on how the carrot comparison works?

Blank carrots are coming. They are very much in the pipeline. Not sure if or how we’re going to make them visible, but we will start factoring them in starting soon.
As for how the carrot comparison works, have a look at this comment that I left on the Substance, Aesthetic Appeal post. It’s not a complete explanation by any stretch, but it’s a start. Let me know if you have questions.

Ok, I think you hit it on the head in your comment that “small companies that don’t get consideration for certain awards should not be punished for not getting them”.
