Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Treasury sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).

Which fields of science does Treasury work in?

In 2022-now, 82% of research at Treasury is in Social Sciences, 9% in Physical Sciences. Its largest fields are Social Sciences (35%), Economics, Econometrics and Finance (26%), Business, Management and Accounting (17%). It does 2.7× the world's share of Social Sciences.
