Methodology

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.

  1. T1AuthoritativeTypical evidenceRegulators, registries, certifications, signed client evidence.Scoring useHighest evidentiary weight
  2. T2IndependentTypical evidenceCredible media, industry bodies, partner directories, third-party datasets.Scoring useStrong with attribution and recency
  3. T3Provider-controlledTypical evidenceCompany site, case studies, press releases, structured submissions.Scoring useAccepted as a claim; verification raises weight
  4. T4Discovery-onlyTypical evidenceDirectory listings, aggregations, and early discovery signals.Scoring useUsed for discovery; weighted accordingly in ranking
Direct, Supported, Related and Adjacent appear on mapped cards as classification grades. They do not rank how discoverable a provider should be.RankGlobal trust center →
