The five lenses

Five paths.
Five different questions.

A PhD ranks low under the clinical lens and near the top under research. An Epic build certification matters in health IT and rarely elsewhere. Each lens scores its own six dimensions against its own evidence frame, so the same credential ranks differently under each.

Each lens below shows its rubric, its top picks, and where the whole field sits. The methodology covers how dimensions and weights were chosen.
