The headline figure is Average yearly Commission earned - top 10% of Reporting Publications for Jul 1, 2023 - Jun 30, 2024, for 38 of 546 units, leaving out publications not in print a full year, franchisees operating < 1 year, 7 franchisees on a different commission formula and others. The mean is 13% above the median, so a minority of high-volume units pulls the average up.
Graded on three things the filing states: coverage (2 points if the figure covers at least 75% of the units it is compared with, 1 point for 50–75%), centre (2 points if it prints both a median and a mean, 1 for one of them), and costs (2 points for costs through a profit line or full cost detail, 1 for some cost items). 5–6 points = More complete, 3–4 = Partial, 0–2 = Limited. The grade describes the disclosure, not the business.
