The LGU HSC makes use of an internal and external benchmarking system to assess and inform LGUs of their performance.
The internal benchmarking system uses directional arrows (and an equal sign) to show how the current year’s performance of an LGU fare with respect to its previous year’s performance.
| Directional Arrow | Interpretation |
| Upward-pointing (↑) | - current year’s performance result IMPROVED compared to previous year’s performance results |
| Equal sign (=) | - current year’s performance result is same or EQUAL compared to previous year’s performance results |
| Downward-pointing (↓) | - current year’s performance result DECLINED compared to previous year’s performance results |
| Dash line (-) | - no comparative data from previous year |
The external benchmarking system uses a traffic light color-code rating to easily communicate to the different stakeholders the performance of an LGU with respect to the average performance of all LGUs and the national target.
| Color Code Score | Interpretation |
| Excellent | - equal to or better than the national target |
| Fair | - lower than the national target but equal to or better than the national average performance |
| Poor | - lower than the national average performance |
| For baseline | - for baseline data collection; no target |
