What a score means

95–100: Exceptional editorial pick with unusually strong evidence, specialization or buyer value.

90–94: Excellent option with substantial strengths and clear reasons to compare.

80–89: Strong provider with credible capability but fewer differentiators or less public evidence.

Below 80: May still be worth considering, but our research found meaningful evidence gaps or limitations.

What we do not do

  • We do not present our editorial score as a customer star-rating average.
  • We do not invent customer reviews or testimonials.
  • We do not award points simply because a company makes a marketing claim.
  • We separate company facts from our editorial conclusions.
  • We date our research so readers know when information was checked.

Research process

  1. Identify the company’s actual service category and geographic or shipping scope.
  2. Review the company website, service pages, process, policies, project evidence and educational content.
  3. Check relevant competitors and category sources to understand what is normal and what is distinctive.
  4. Score the company using the same 100-point framework.
  5. Publish strengths, limitations, sources and a last-reviewed date.
  6. Revisit profiles when material business information changes.

Ranking integrity

We do not use customer-star averages as our editorial score. A 96/100 means the company scored strongly against our published evidence framework for that category. Company offerings, reviews and policies can change, so every comparison guide includes a research date and links readers back to current sources.

What can lower a score

Thin service information, unclear scope, missing warranty details, weak project evidence, vague geography, inconsistent business facts, unclear manufacturing processes and difficulty verifying important claims can all reduce a score—even when the company may do excellent work offline.
