How confidence is computedLower confidence
- Confidence
- Lower confidence, 62 of 100
- Evidence posture
- thin: No independent source documents this vendor's work; treat it as a candidate only.
- 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.

- Fit: services, industries, client types: industries, client types5/15
- Commercial terms: model, entry price, hourly rate, minimum term, setup fee: model, entry price, hourly rate, minimum term, setup fee0/20
- 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, 12 work claims22/30
- 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 reviews; Google: too few reviews to count0/15
- Who is speaking: independent sources among work claims (full marks at 40%): 0 of 12 work claims are independent0/30
- Checked against the source page: confirmed, or half for partly confirmed: 12 confirmed, 0 partly, of 13 with a source23/25
