How a company earns its place
Rankings use a 113-signal assessment framework, scored against publicly verifiable evidence and confirmed by editorial review. Award winners carry a full audit; every other company is scored only on the signals we could independently verify — never guessed. No single factor decides a position, and placements can never be bought.
