How we compare buying advisers

Profiles are built from structured public business data, the professional's own website, public registers, rating platforms, and reviewed provider corrections. Every profile is shaped for cross-border buying: destination country, region, language, buyer-side role, contact options, checks and aftercare.

Every ranking on this site uses one transparent score out of 100, and every ranked list shows a "Why?" breakdown per business:

• Adjusted rating (up to 70 points). Ratings are adjusted toward a neutral prior of 3.8/5 until enough reviews confirm them (about 25 reviews) — a 5.0 from two reviews does not outrank a 4.6 from three hundred.
• Review volume (up to 10 points). More independent references, more confidence.
• Verification (10 points). Awarded when the business identity has been verified.
• Profile completeness (up to 10 points). Website, phone, and photo present.

Reviews are useful, but they are not the whole story. Region knowledge, Dutch-language support, local partner network, role boundaries and fit with your situation matter just as much — that is why we show the full profile, not only a number.

Provider access, claim handling and correction workflows are operational features. They are reviewed separately from scoring and profile facts. A provider cannot buy extra score points or rewrite reviews through a claim workflow.

• Displayed ratings and review counts come from public rating platforms; we do not edit or reorder them.
• We do not accept payment to remove or suppress reviews.
• Professionals can claim their profile to correct factual information; corrections are moderated before publication.
