What is the difference between a Topline Summary and an Industry Benchmark Report? (2024)
What is a Topline Summary?
TheTopline Summaryis a concise set of tables for all of the closed-ended questions in the survey. This summary only includes the data from your program and is delivered within two weeks of closing your survey. This summary is meant to quickly provide information about your students or alumni.
TheIndustry Benchmark Report (also known as the Program Roadmap & Market Trends Report) is a full graphical report of your program results compared to industry segments and six self-selected peer programs. This is much more than a comparison to your peer programs. In addition to providing a graphical display of your data not found in the Topline Summary, this report provides the Student/Alumni Loyalty Index, trending, comparisons to industry segments, and Key Driver Analysis. This report is delivered once all programs have submitted data for the current fielding year as well as their peer selections.
Update: We have renamed theCompetitive Intelligence Reportto theProgram Roadmap & Market Trends Report. Please check out this blog article for more details:

This is the distillation of the key point(s) you want to get across in all your communications. Whereas a frame is a place of common understanding between you and your audience, your topline message is what you want your audience to learn and have reinforced every time they hear from you.
The top line refers to the sales or the revenues of a company which is the total income generated during a particular period. The bottom line is the net profit of the company which is after all operating expenses, depreciation, interest and taxes. The bottom line is what the company actually generates for shareholders.
