C’DER SELECTION / METHODOLOGY

A clear standard for recognition.

Independent decisions. Recorded reasons. Review that can be revisited.

HOW WE EVALUATE

Each decision has its own meaning.

Publication, verification and selection are distinct editorial decisions. The scope and reasons behind a decision should be clear.

PROFILE

A profile meets minimum editorial publication criteria. Listing is not a star rating.

EVIDENCE

A specific claim or credential has been checked against evidence, within a stated scope and period.

DECISION

An independent decision records its category, year and reason. Stars require a separate review.

No purchased rankings. No forced quotas. Conflicts require recusal.
