The method / 05

A transparent method is more useful than a mysterious score.

We do not publish a league table of professionals. We organize information, explain our editorial choices, and label paid visibility.

01

Profile completeness

We look for useful factual details such as practice areas, neighbourhood, languages, consultation format, and a clear contact route.

02

Editorial clarity

We prefer specific, plain-language descriptions over superlatives, outcomes, awards, or unsubstantiated claims.

03

Paid visibility is labelled

Featured and sponsored placements are paid visibility products. They do not change verification, editorial standards, or suitability.
