Administrative expenses exceed $300 per participant per year - possible fee-review opportunity. (Recordkeeping / audit / legal; excludes investment management.)
Retirees and beneficiaries make up 25% or more of total participants - indicates an ageing workforce or a frozen plan.
Plan appears closed to new enrollment or frozen - balance-holders far exceed active participants, or the plan reports active distributions with no inflows. Exclude from peer benchmarks.
