What ECSG’s tier placings mean

On “Which MSPs provide transparent service-level reporting?”, ECSG sits in tier 1 of 2, named in 11 of 125 responses (8.8%). Tier 1 does not mean it was ranked first. It means that at 125 responses, the gap between ECSG and the most-named firm in that sample is inside the margin of error, so the two cannot be told apart. ECSG shares tier 1 with INOC, ReportingMSP, Inputiv, Lexcom, SafePoint IT and Framework IT, and the order they are listed in is arbitrary. 3 further firms were named on this question but fell into lower tiers, meaning the sample did separate ECSG from them.
