Separation of editorial and revenue
The people who write rankings do not sell advertising and are not told which companies are subscribers. That separation is the whole basis of the product.
Fact versus judgement
A licence number is a fact and we cite where we checked it. Whether a company is the best choice for older homes is judgement, and we say so and explain the reasoning.
Expert review
Trades with real technical depth get an expert reviewer who reads the criteria and the finished page. Reviewers do not set the order, and they are not shown one before reviewing the criteria.
Use of AI tools
We use software to help gather and organize public records. No ranking position is ever set by an automated system, and every published page is read by a named editor before it goes live.
Still need a person?
If this page does not answer it, the editorial team will. Corrections are checked against the source before anything changes.
