The Operating Index

This report sets an organization's reported finances against its field across two years, and states the change between them. The financial statements are ranked against the sector. The measures drawn from them are ranked against a cohort of similar organizations. The report states position and change. It draws no conclusion.

Provenance

A filed figure comes from the organization's public Form 990. Peer figures come from the IRS record, the e-file releases and the annual extract together, and refresh as the IRS releases. A figure not drawn from a filing is marked. A filing that does not reconcile is held, not issued.

Financial Statements

Two statements are shown for two years, the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2024: the statement of financial position and the statement of activities. Figures are in U.S. dollars. Both years come from the filed Form 990. Each line is ranked against the sector, every Health Care organization (NTEE E) that filed for that year. The change between the two years is stated in dollars and in percent, and carries no rank.

Measures

The measures are computed from the statements. Each is ranked against a cohort of 148 organizations: those in the same sector and closest in revenue. A ratio is comparable only among organizations of similar scale. A year whose field is still filling is ranked against the most recent resolved field. The change between the two years is stated in the measure's own terms, months or percentage points.

Commentary

The commentary is assembled by a fixed rule, not generated. The same data produces the same reading, and nothing is invented or rephrased beyond what the figures support. It walks the statements in order and closes on the measures. A movement is read as material only when it is large in dollars or in percent. A material movement, or a reading in the top or bottom tenth of its cohort, raises a question, set in italic below the line. The question rises from the organization's own figures and states no finding.

No assurance provided

This report is not an audit, review, or compilation, and no opinion or assurance is provided. The figures are reported by the organization and are not verified. Reconciliation is a condition of issue, not a verification.
