  1. †Numbers (x/y) in cells respectively represent the number of indicators which showed significant preferred performance association (x) and the number of indicators which showed significant not preferred performance association (y) at the provincial/territorial level
  2. ¥Total number of significant preferred correlations/total number of significant not preferred correlations/total number of tested correlations for that performance dimension or indicator group
  3. ‡Only the dependency ratio indicator is assessed here using the decision rule since the other indicators could be preferred either way depending on the goal and audience
