These scores measure digital commercial friction only — how easily customers can find, trust and transact with each company online. They are not a measure of a company's quality, solvency, legality or service. Measured 2026-10-20; we re-run and correct promptly if a company shows a measurement is wrong.
Live sectors show real rankings; the rest are in the audit queue and fill in as runs complete.
