It is vendor-produced material about one firm's use of a specific platform rather than an independent comparison.

A vendor video in which Michael Goodman, portfolio manager at Corbyn Investment Management, describes how the firm uses Nitrogen's Risk Score and GPA tools to communicate its investment approach to financial advisers and end clients. Corbyn says it has focused since the late 1970s on risk-adjusted returns by protecting on the downside while participating on the upside, and Goodman explains how third-party risk scoring lines up with that approach.
