Standardization.While in the everyday language, the term "standardization" means converting to a common standard or making something conform to a standard (i.e., its meaning is similar to the term normalization in data analysis), in statistics, this term has a very specific meaning and refers to the transformation of data by subtracting each value from some reference value (typically a sample mean) and diving it by the standard deviation (typically a sample SD). This important transformation will bring all values (regardless of their distributions and original units of measurement) to compatible units from a distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
This transformation has a wide variety of applications because it makes the distributions of values easy to compare across variables and/or subsets. If applied to the input data, standardization also makes the results of a variety of statistical techniques entirely independent of the ranges of values or the units of measurements (see the discussion of these issues in Elementary Concepts, Basic Statistics, Multiple Regression, Factor Analysis, and others).

I think it might be as simple as that.
Standardizing or normalizing results is a procedure used in statistics to present the distribution of a set of results in relation to the mean, but I would not have thought that that was appropriate in this context.

Having googled your source text I realize that it is not this simple. They are using statistical analysis to compare data from different companies, so I would go for "standardized".
