How Ihsan Standard evaluates.
Every score, flag, and badge on this site traces back to a published rubric. Nothing is proprietary: the standards, the thresholds, and the modeling assumptions behind every figure are documented below, so an org can see exactly what we looked at, and exactly what would change its evaluation.
The nonprofit rubric
The dimensions we audit nonprofits and mosques against, financial integrity and operational efficiency, governance, zakat handling, and the mosque-specific community-health overlay.
The business dimensions
How halal businesses are evaluated, product integrity, ṭayyib sourcing, financial conduct, and community circulation of capital.
990 Risk Signals
The pattern rules behind the 990 risk-signal flags. Schedule F gaps, non-cash concentration, reserve hoarding, with the dollar evidence per rule.
Assumptions behind every figure
How we model the numbers on this site, what each figure includes, what it excludes, and the conservative choices we make when a 990 is ambiguous.
Standards we look for
The full nonprofit standards catalog, item by item, what each standard means, why it matters, and what evidence satisfies it.
Business standards we look for
The business-side standards catalog, the attestations, certifications, and conduct signals a listing can carry, and how each is verified.
