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.
Direct, Supported, Related and Adjacent appear on mapped cards as classification grades. They do not rank how discoverable a provider should be.
