Our commitments
- The method is published here in full.
- Every point links to a public source you can check.
- Being a ProLink client never changes a score.
Each partner scores up to 75 points over a rolling 12 months: up to 25 each for Recognised, Deals and Voice. Only public web sources count.
Total = min(25, Rec) + min(25, Deals) + min(25, Voice)
RecognisedChambers USA energy band: Eminent or Star 9, Band 1 9, Band 2 7, Band 3 5, Band 4 4, other 3, plus 2 for each extra energy table (up to +4). Chambers Global +2; other Chambers +2.

Subsector view
Deal and voice points tagged to that subsector count in full; Recognised counts at half. A partner appears only if they have at least one deal or voice item in that subsector.
