Positions 11 to 25: the same breakdown is on each agency's profile, linked from the table above, and in the machine-readable version below.
A claim counts as MVP evidence when a source on file names a minimum viable product, prototype, proof of concept or first release of an app the company built for a startup or a new product, ideally with the launch, the funding round or the first users that followed. Marketing work for a startup (SEO, ads) does not count.
In plain words: a case counts when it names mobile MVP development work and where it was published can be checked.
Ranked vendors have at least 1 claim on file that supports mobile MVP development under the published rubric, of which at least 1 comes from a source outside Vendar; the rest are listed unranked.
Weights: Evidence for this query 30 · Fit to this query 25 · Capability depth 15 · Reliability 10 · Transparency 10 · Reputation 5 · Market credibility 5. Penalties: Profile flagged for review -5 · Evidence not re-checked in 18 months -5 · No independent source on file -3 · Profile below decision-ready status -2.
Verified means Vendar confirmed the company, its service and its market on official sources and stamped the profile with the date. A participation status or a partner relationship does not make a profile verified.
Every date shown is a data date. A listing's updated date is the newest verification date among its ranked vendors and the evidence claims their ranks rest on; the same value appears in the page text, the structured data and the machine feed.
A position reflects documented work for the page's question, not the quality of an agency as such. Without a public case or a visible campaign the result of an agency's work cannot be known from outside. An agency with no public evidence is not worse: there is nothing to confirm it with, so it is listed below the ranking instead of being ranked low.
