The methodology
Each DMC is scored 0–10 per pillar on public information — coverage maps, case work, industry recognition, and planner-community reputation — then weighted to a 100-point total. Refreshed annually; organizations may submit verified data for the next edition.
Scored on public information. No organization paid to appear, and placement is not for sale.
