The leading six teams, 'Four Strings', 'Venus', 'Business Gurus' all from Atkins India, 'Standing Ove-tion' from Arup, 'AEC Ltd' from ANDUN and 'ABYUDHAY' from Atkins India continue to crowd out the top placings, but there is movement as Business Gurus and AEC Ltd swap places. While the status quo is maintained, what is notable is that the percentage improvement in performance has dropped in the order of 10%. This could indicate that the market-place is becoming tougher and the results of earlier decisions are beginning to show.
The market is likely to tighten. Teams that have won jobs with low bids, or even losing bids, will see the effects ripple through their accounts. Their scores will not rise as before, and some might even fall. This may be happening already, so we expect some changes.
MERIT 2021 is far from settled, and with four more rounds left, is this the calm before the storm?

The leading teams continue to hold station at the top after Period 7. With bigger movements lower down the ranking, the chasers need to be sharper, and they need to squeeze every advantage to make progress.
The influence of the history has dissipated, and the teams are now in full control of the direction that their company takes. The individual team members need to understand all aspects of the decisions for which they are responsible, but also be prepared to compromise.
Will the leading teams tighten their grip, or will their strategy unravel? With five periods left to go, we look forward to the battles still to come.

The teams hot off their marks are still striving forward after Period 6, while other teams are rising and falling in the rankings as they develop their strategy. Do you go for slow and steady, or surge to the front, only to falter. This is the question that hangs over the leading teams.
Just 305 points separate the top six with 'Four Strings' from Atkins India hold on to their leading position. 'Venus' from Atkins India rise to second from fifth, 'AECLtd' from Aundun stay at third place, 'Business Gurus' from Atkins India rise to fourth from sixth, 'Standing Ove-tion' from Arup slip to fifth from second and 'ABYUDHAY' from Atkins India slip to sixth from fourth.
With only 311 points then separating the next eleven teams from the leaders, will the tortoises overtake the hares?
