- Only one third-party evidence claim is normalized.
- Best position rests on: Published by the agency on its own site.
- 51 of 52 claims on file are the agency's own words or sources it controls; 1 come from an independent source.
- Open: Price signal disclosed (not disclosed; asked in Before you sign)
- Open: Three strongest proofs name a client and a measured, dated result (2 of 3)
- Open: Every claim has an observation date (51 of 52)
- Open: At least a third of documented work comes from independent sources (0 of 51 work claims)
