Everything above was computed, not chosen.
Definition
Depth and discipline of the firm's published analysis — methodology quality, data use, and how often its work is cited by others. Citation-weighted: volume alone scores nothing.
Accepted evidence
Published studies, frameworks, peer citations, conference records, regulatory submissions.
Verification rule
Every entry carries a public source URL and an archived copy. Citations must be independent of the firm.
Recency
Full weight for 8 quarters, then decays. Sustained output outranks a single famous report.
Definition
The firm's verifiable conduct: accuracy of public claims, professional standing, and its regulatory record. Verified adverse public records reduce this score under a published rule.
Accepted evidence
Regulatory registers, court and tribunal records, licensing bodies, verified press coverage.
Verification rule
Adverse entries require an official public source and trigger notice; the firm may object before publication.
Recency
Adverse weight fades after 12 clean quarters — records are permanent, penalties are not.
Definition
Demonstrated depth in the specific category being ranked — not general consulting brand. A firm is scored per table; strength in one category earns nothing in another.
Accepted evidence
Category-specific engagements, publications, practitioner credentials, sector body roles.
Verification rule
Evidence must name the category domain explicitly; generic capability statements are excluded.
Recency
Standard 8-quarter half-life.
Definition
Publicly verifiable engagement outcomes. Weighted by verification level: third-party confirmed outcomes count fully; self-published case studies count at reduced weight.
Accepted evidence
Client-published statements, award records, filings that name the engagement, verified case studies.
Verification rule
NDA-safe by construction: only signals the client or a third party has already made public.
Recency
Standard 8-quarter half-life.
Definition
Whether the firm can actually carry the work it wins: team stability, leadership continuity, and operational longevity. Guards the list against strong publishers who cannot deliver.
Accepted evidence
Firm registries, tenure records, verifiable team composition, years of continuous operation.
Verification rule
Structural facts only — no headcount claims without a public source.
Recency
Slow decay: continuity is inherently long-horizon.
Definition
How openly the firm engages the market: pricing clarity, published terms, responsiveness, plain-language communication. Weighted heavily for SMB, where opacity is the main buyer risk.
Accepted evidence
Published pricing or engagement terms, response records, documentation quality.
Verification rule
Assessed only from what the firm makes public — private conduct is out of scope.
Recency
Current-state parameter: latest two quarters only.
