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.
