Editorial panel
Editorial panel
Our editorial team picks every honoree on this site. It follows the approach laid out in the published methodology.
The editors work from what is public about a business: the material it publishes itself, the listings that name it, and the public record. They choose the honorees in each category and write the qualitative note shown with each one. Nobody applies, and there is no scoring panel.
The methodology page lists what the editors look at, so you can check why any business is listed.
