Editing Consumerium:Metrics

=Votes and reviews in Consumerium=

== Votes ==
[[Voting|Votes]] - If you are a <font color=green>concientious consumer</font> you'll want to look at these.

== Zeroity of votes ==
[[Zeroity]] == % of votes are 0's - If you are <font color=green>interested in politics, disputes, truth, wikis in general, mis- and disinformation etc.</font> you'll want to keep an eye on this

== Reviews ==
[[:Category:Reviews|Reviews]] - If you are a <font color=red>hedonist consumer</font> you'll want to look at <font color=red>only</font> these.

= Economical metrics of companies =

== Metric: Size ==
Size == revenue. This when presented on an industry wide scale helps consumers pick out reasonably sized companies and avoid the huge ones. <font color=green>from [[DBpedia]].</font> for over 40,000 companies

== Metric: Employablity ==

[[Employability]] == [[years of employment provided]] / Million € of [[vested capital]] - If you're a <font color=green>socialist consumer</font> you'll want to look for high employability. Also applicable for <font color=green>environmentalists</font> and <font color=green>responsible capitalists</font> number of employees ( all companies and total assets ( for [[PLC]]s only ) <font color=green>from DBpedia.</font>. Corporate structure may affect reliability of unadjusted employment years provided. Should not compare across different types of businesses like Cooperatives and Corporations.

== Metric: Payments Per Investment ==
[[Payments Per Investment]] (PPI) == ¢ of paid wages, taxes, donations and dividents / € of vested capital - How much does the company return money per investment to society '''Note that this metric can exceed 100 ¢ / €'''. These figures will be available from PLCs' yearly reports but not usually for other types of businesses

== Metric: Labor intensity of industry ==
<font color=green>Labor intensity (of industry)</font>  == [[years of employment provided]] / Million € of '''revenue'''. If you're <font color=green>an environmentalist or globalist or equalist consumer</font> use this to locate industries, products and services that don't burden planet Earth so much. Probably the only relation to revenue that makes perfect sense. Again, same thing as with employability, both numbers or figures within usability <font color=green>from DBpedia.</font>

== Metric: High dividents ==
[[High dividents]] - If you are <font color=green>concerned about [[capitalism]] or want to get into [[ethical investing]]</font> this is for you. High dividents mean usually that the [[investors]] are into it for the long run not just to gamble around, so the executives are more likely to make <font color=green>sustainability, ethics, good governance and taking care of employees</font> an issue.

== Metric: Profit ==
<font color=green>Profit</font> / <font color=red>Loss</font> - High profit is really not "You must be ripping the consumer off" but more like "You must be doing something right". Loss might mean a lot of things. Maybe the business is going through a rough patch and they need your business. Maybe their offerings just don't stand up to the competition in which case you might want to take your business elsewhere. Hard to tell without knowing the background. <font color=green>from DBpedia.</font>
