Every certification, side by side.

Rows are the eight pathways. Columns are the certifications a property can hold, ordered by how many pathways their published criteria cover. Every cell describes a document rather than an organisation, and every standard’s own page carries the criterion, the quote and the link.

Read as: do this certification’s published criteria address this pathway. Covered means directly. Partial means obliquely, or only as an optional credit, or only part of what the pathway covers. Each cell carries the note from that standard’s record; the standard’s own page prints the criterion verbatim with a link to where it is published.

Who holds what, across the index

Certifications as the properties themselves publish them, matched against the 112 stays in the index. A stay appears under a standard because its own record names it. The figure beside each stay is its evidence score, which the certification did not set: holding a standard moves a score only through the evidence that standard publishes.
