The Way node shows your *Way Score* and the perceived [Effectiveness and Relevance](docId\:AJoIO1JiCL8JEiji1bgFs) of your Values (sometimes called Principles):
## Way Score
Your *Way Score* is a measure of how well your Values are working. It is a [Node Rollup score](docId\:C5-fBumyYBGYzL_Hix6YB) for all the questions in your Salpulse Survey that relate to your organisation's Values. If your* Way Score* is **green**, it is still worth using the *Navigation Tree* to drill down into each of the Values as there may be some Values that are **amber** or **red**.
## Drilling Down to Individual Values
Clicking on the name of a value in the *Navigation Tree* displays the detailed results for that Value; including how well that value is being lived, how that Value is effecting decision making and how the Value relates to the organisation's Purpose.
## Interpreting the Results
If the *Perceived Effectiveness* component is **green**, this indicates that your people are, in general, consistently living your organisation's Values. Well done. Make sure to use the *Navigation Tree* to drill down to see the effectiveness of each of the Values independently.
The *Perceived Relevance* component (and the drill downs to each Value's perceived relevance score) indicates whether or not your Values still serve your organisation's purpose. A Value can drop in perceived relevance for two reasons. Firstly, the value is in fact not as relevant to advancing your purpose. But secondly, the organisation may simply have lost focus on this Value and your people have forgotten how it relates to your Purpose. If you suspect the later, then this can often be remedied by *socialising* the Value. This is done by reminding people of why the Value is important and making an effort to tell more stories about this Value in action ([sending a Salp](docId\:mduEV33rmCvpICYDupECa) is one way of doing this). For Values that have lost relevance, you may need to do a [culture refresh](docId\:ODuOxjdX5YdzcoNLaZblJ).
