Before You Settle

How we compare providers

We compare observable scope and fit. We don’t rank firms or give them scores.

Each fact on a profile is linked to a source and the date it was checked. If we can’t confirm something, we say “Not confirmed” — that’s not treated as a negative.

A licence confirms a particular status, not service quality. Firms that only appear for research are kept separate from firms that accept introductions.

Matching checks eligibility first — your region, matter type and the firm’s current capacity — then explains fit using what you told us and the firm’s verified scope.

This methodology is in draft and will be reviewed before launch.
