# Results & Reports

The GRESB Data Center Assessment generates two complementary outputs. Together, they provide both a detailed view of entity-level performance and a comparative perspective against peers.

While both reports are based on the same submitted data, they are designed for different audiences and use cases, one focused on detailed internal performance analysis, and the other on external benchmarking and peer comparison.

The table below outlines the key differences between the two outputs.
