Reconciliation: the 8 jurisdiction rows assign 6,305 of the 6,313 audited domains. 19 attempted domains (8 audited) resolved to no known AU jurisdiction -- a missing state alias or a source-data value outside the published jurisdiction list -- and are excluded from every per-jurisdiction cut but included in the national totals above.
Canada
Choose a Canada benchmark
11,820 audited websites, national median 71. Provinces compared against the Canada-wide median. Territories below the 30-attempted-domain floor are excluded from the table and counted in the reconciliation note.

Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon fell below the 30-attempted-domain floor and are excluded from the table (20 audited domains). 27 attempted domains (23 audited) resolved to no known CA jurisdiction -- a missing state alias or a source-data value outside the published jurisdiction list -- and are excluded from every per-jurisdiction cut but included in the national totals above. A further 25 attempted domains (20 audited) resolved to a known jurisdiction too small to report reliably (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon, each under 30 attempted domains) -- also included in the national totals but omitted from the per-jurisdiction table.

9,840 audited websites, national median 70. Four UK nations, compared against the UK-wide median.

Reconciliation: the 4 jurisdiction rows assign 8,627 of the 9,840 audited domains. 2,544 attempted domains (1,213 audited) resolved to no known GB jurisdiction -- a missing state alias or a source-data value outside the published jurisdiction list -- and are excluded from every per-jurisdiction cut but included in the national totals above.
United States
Choose a United States benchmark
50,405 audited websites, national median 77. States and the District of Columbia compared against the U.S.-wide median.
Reconciliation: the 51 jurisdiction rows assign 50,403 of the 50,405 audited domains. Two audited domains were excluded from jurisdiction cuts: one resolved only to a Sonora (SO) alias and one had no resolvable U.S. state alias.
How to read these benchmarks
Each page compares one jurisdiction with the nationwide cohort using observable public website signals. The data does not rank clinical quality and does not support causal claims about rankings, traffic, revenue, or patient volume. Jurisdictions with fewer than 100 audited domains do not publish grade, category, market, or metric-level sub-analysis.
