What makes a board assessment trustworthy?
A board assessment is only useful if its conclusions can be defended. Assessment Science is the BEACON research stream that establishes the empirical standards every credible governance evaluation must meet — and the BEACON Trust Framework™ that operationalizes them.
Reliability
Internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, and longitudinal stability — the conditions under which measurement can be trusted.
Validity
Whether the instrument actually measures what it claims to measure: construct, content, and criterion validity in governance.
Trust Framework™
BEACON's six-axis credibility model: behavioral relevance, empirical rigor, actionability, consistency, outcome linkage, normative benchmarking.
