Editorial Policy

Trust is the currency of our business. Our users rely on our profiles and buyer tools to make high-stakes hiring decisions. This policy outlines our commitment to objectivity, accuracy, and transparency.

1. Commercial Transparency

Sponsored placements and lead-generation relationships are clearly labeled.

Factual profile fields and editorial fit guidance are built from buyer-relevant evidence, including:

• Proven Experience: Public case studies and client references.
• Technical Depth: Density of certified engineers and relevant partner-tier evidence.
• Market Presence: Years in business, team size, and thought leadership.

Paid placements can provide additional visibility. We mark them as sponsored so readers can distinguish commercial promotion from editorial profile content and fit guidance.

2. Data Sources

Profiles draw on these sources:

• Direct Submission: Information provided by firms. It is treated as a vendor claim until a primary source confirms it.
• Public Sources: Company websites, case studies, platform partner directories (AWS, Snowflake, Azure and others), and press releases.
• Buyer Feedback: Where buyers share it, feedback on what an engagement was like informs how we describe fit.

3. Evidence Status

Reviewed profiles include an evidence section. Each checked claim, such as a partner credential, team size, or rate, is marked confirmed, vendor-claimed, editorial, or unverified, with a link to its source and the date it was checked. Team sizes without a confirming source are shown as unverified directory estimates, and rates and minimum project sizes appear only when a primary source confirms them. Profiles that have not been reviewed say so rather than implying verification.

4. Corrections & Updates

The data engineering market moves fast, and profiles are updated when we find new information or receive a correction that checks out. If you see an error in a profile or believe a fit signal is based on outdated information, please report it immediately.
