Editorial standards

Useful rankings
without false precision.

Factbase rankings are informed editorial judgments. We weigh public evidence and category relevance, then explain the signals so readers can make their own assessment.

Our principle

Factbase ranking is based on publicly available company information, relevant experience, client feedback, specialization, and overall market presence. A ranking is a starting point for research—not a substitute for due diligence.

01

Relevance

Direct experience in the service, technology or market covered by a category.

02

Evidence

Public portfolios, attributable case studies and current company materials.

03

Client feedback

Public review volume, recency and themes—treated as context, not absolute truth.

04

Experience

Years in business, delivery history and demonstrated continuity where verifiable.

05

Market presence

Geographic reach, specialization and reputation within the relevant field.

What we do

Compare like with like

Companies are assessed within the context of a specific category. A broad consultancy and a specialized studio may both be strong, but for different briefs.

What we avoid

Claims we cannot support

We do not invent projects, clients, awards or review quotations. If pricing, team size or performance data is not reliably public, we say so or leave it out.
