2. What the ranking is

The ranking is an editorial judgement based on the publicly described LSAI method. A score is not a guarantee of results and not advice to hire a particular specialist. Always choose after doing your own research. How the score works is explained in the LSAI method.

3. Participation by specialists

Participation is free and there is no paid placement. A specialist supplies correct information and asks reference clients for permission in advance. Anyone who supplies misleading information may be excluded. A specialist can report factual errors; the editorial team decides on the score.

We do our best to keep all information correct and up to date and cite sources with dates. We correct errors and record them in the corrections log. We are not liable for damage resulting from the use of this website, except in the case of intent or deliberate recklessness.

5. Tools

The tally sheet and the checklist are tools. Results are estimates with a margin of error.

6. Ownership and reuse

Texts belong to Beste GEO Bureau. You may reuse the open data of the ranking with attribution. Quotes from third parties remain the property of their authors.

Dutch law applies. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in Amsterdam.
