How we ranked
The State Score runs from 0 to 10 with the same factors and weights as the Handshake Score. For each factor, when a company’s research record ties evidence to Idaho, only the Idaho evidence counts and the table marks the factor In-state. When it can’t, the factor uses the company’s whole record and is marked Company-wide. Licensing and the legal record can be marked In-state + company-wide: Idaho records count together with federal and multi-state ones.
The review-volume and verification-depth adjustment from the overall score applies too, with its thresholds scaled to Idaho’s share of the Pacific Northwest’s Google reviews. The regional breadth adjustment doesn’t apply, since every company here is compared within one state.
To be ranked, a company needs a location on file in Idaho and at least 100 Google reviews on its Idaho listings. Companies with a location here but less in-state evidence are listed under “Also operates in Idaho.”
Ties are broken by in-state Google review volume. A factor with no usable inputs is left out and the other weights are scaled up, exactly as in the overall score. The Handshake Score on each company’s page still rates its whole Pacific Northwest operation.
