01
Relevance comes first
A vendor must address the target buyer problem and be credible for the page's use case. Brand size, sponsorship or outreach alone does not establish relevance.
02
Evidence threshold
Products need enough verifiable information to evaluate capabilities, integrations, deployment and limitations. Unsupported or inaccessible claims may exclude a vendor from detailed treatment.
03
Inclusion is not endorsement
Appearing on a page does not guarantee a favorable ranking. Position depends on buyer fit, category criteria and the strength of available evidence.
