Every credentialing company we cover is assessed against the same five published criteria by the GPH editorial team -- before any commercial conversation. Vendors can't buy a verdict, change a weighting, or remove a finding. Verdicts today are criteria-based editorial judgments; numeric scoring will be published as our evaluation program matures.
