Various criteria attempt to quantify the universe, the market and the firm. Appropriate measures vary with lifecycle stage.
Each measure is of limited value, due to inherent flaws in any measurement and analysis process. Such flaws include various kinds of bias, interpretation, and timeliness and relevance.
