There is very little feed-back on how you can improve your score.

Inconsistency between grading of submissions (as examples we submitted a large amount of information about our CIMS and critical infrastructure/essential service Emergency Response Plans on the ‘Emergency Management & Response’ section the second submission and still only managed to get the same score of 75%; but the ‘Skills, Training, and Competency’ section increased by 25% even though we cut and pasted information from the previous submission).
