How the scores work

Editorial scores

Each 1–10 score is a judgment drawn from the research report, not a vendor-published metric. A gap of two points or more counts as an advantage; one point or less is roughly even.

Unverified items

Where we couldn't confirm one or both sides from a reliable source, the item is shown with a “?” and left out of every total rather than guessed.

Profile weights

Each item carries a weight of 0–3 per firm profile. Overall and category scores are weighted averages, so an item weighted 0 doesn't move that profile's score.
