A method for parity analysis and remedy calculation is provided. The method uses
performance measurements that measure the timeliness, accuracy and availability
of the services provided by an incumbent local exchange carrier ("ILEC") to determine
whether parity exists between services provided to the ILEC and services provided
to a competitive local exchange carrier ("CLEC"). The performance measurements
are compared at an appropriate level so that a like-to-like comparison is made.
The difference between the average of the ILEC performance measurements and the
average of the CLEC performance measurements is computed. An aggregate difference
measurement is also computed and is used to determine whether parity exists. If
parity does not exist, then a remedy is calculated.
