How the rank works. Kept on time = promises delivered on time ÷ decided promises. Decided means delivered (on time, late or smaller), abandoned, or overdue; a promise still on track is not counted either way. A promiser is ranked once it has 3 or more decided promises; ties go to the one with more. Every number here can be recounted from the tracker below.
