Redakcijas metodoloģija

Kā mēs verificējam katru uzņēmumu PVFirms.

PVFirms ir redakcijas, ne par samaksu. Katrs saraksts — Uzskaitīts, Verificēts vai Premium partneris — iziet vienas un tās pašas publiski dokumentētās pārbaudes. Neviens uzņēmums nevar iegādāties augstāku līmeni. Šī lapa ir rokasgrāmata.

Kāpēc tas ir neatkarīgs

Listings & verification are free
Listed, Verified and Premium Partner badges have €0 cost. Companies cannot pay to be added, upgraded or kept active.
Order is by merit, not payment
Companies in search results are ordered by tier and rating — never by payment. There are no paid placements.
Independent review
Verification decisions are made by the editorial team, independently of any commercial relationship with the company.
Public revision log
Changes to a company's tier or profile are logged with date and reason, and visible on the public profile.
No pay-to-play advertising
We do not sell sponsored placements within the directory or verification badges of any kind.
