Transparent profile intelligence

How RankGlobal maps this profile.

RankGlobal maps this profile against a controlled taxonomy. Mapping grades on capability and industry cards describe how the profile is classified. Source strength for ranking decisions follows the hierarchy published on Research— a mapping grade is not a claim of discoverability weight.

Tier 1 · Authoritative
Regulators, registries, certifications, signed client evidence.
Highest evidentiary weight
Tier 2 · Independent
Credible media, industry bodies, partner directories, third-party datasets.
Strong with attribution and recency
Tier 3 · Provider-controlled
Company site, case studies, press releases, structured submissions.
Accepted as a claim; verification raises weight
Tier 4 · Discovery-only
Directory listings, aggregations, and early discovery signals.
