Capped by
Rated from the evidence on file (sources, independence, confirmed quotes), not by an editor.
Best position confidence
Moderate confidence

It starts from the data completeness and source reliability of the profile, and is capped when independent proof of work is thin. The next level is Moderate confidence. One independent claim with a measured result for the best-ranked need is the fastest way up.

Data completeness53/100
  • Who the company is: website, headquarters, founding year, team size, logo, regions served: team size, logo14/20
  • Fit: services, industries, client types15/15
  • Commercial terms: model, entry price, hourly rate, minimum term, setup fee: entry price, hourly rate, setup fee7/20
  • Documented work: cases naming a client and a result (target 5) and work claims overall (target 10): 3 cases with a named client and a result, 5 work claims17/30
  • Reputation: rating and review count on two or more platforms, each with 10 or more reviews: 0 platforms with a rating and 10 or more reviews0/15
Trust in the data70/100
  • Who is speaking: independent sources among work claims (full marks at 40%): 0 of 5 work claims are independent0/30
  • Checked against the source page: confirmed, or half for partly confirmed: 5 confirmed, 0 partly, of 5 with a source25/25
  • Numbers backed by a verbatim quote from the source: 3 of 320/20
  • Seen within the last 365 days: 5 of 515/15
  • Not contradicted: claims their source no longer supports: 0 not supported by their page10/10

These two scores describe the profile itself and never change a position.
