# Class A Atlas Office Index

**A deterministic composite score (0–100) ranking 123 Tier-1 [Class A](/glossary/class-a) office markets across five dimensions.**

## Methodology

The Class A Atlas Office Index is a deterministic composite score on a 0–100 scale, computed from five sub-scores: cost efficiency (25%), talent depth (25%), lease flexibility (20%), sustainability (15%), and transit access (15%). Each sub-score is normalised against the Tier-1 reference band Class A Atlas tracks editorially. The index is regenerated quarterly when the underlying city dataset is refreshed and is published under CC BY 4.0.
