Transparency varies enormously across this market. This index records, for each of 185 organizations, whether it publishes its criteria, a price, a member count, a founding year and its chapter locations — five facts a prospective member would reasonably expect to find.

99%publish at least one criterion

52%publish a price

54%state a member count

43%list chapter locations

Reading the pattern

Criteria are published far more often than prices: an organization that wants to keep a room consistent has every reason to state who qualifies and, if it sells through Chairs or franchisees, every reason not to state what it costs. Member counts are the weakest figure — where they are published they are often rounded, sometimes contradictory across an organization's own pages, and rarely dated, which is why the database records the date it observed each count and marks counts older than two years. Invitation-only bodies publish the least of all, by design.

The index

Yes means the organization itself publishes the fact or a document a named publication reproduced states it. A reported second-hand figure does not count.
