Methodology

Report Chain scores every provider on one fixed rubric, applied the same way every time. This page breaks down each criterion, its weight, and the reasoning behind it.

Scoring Criteria

How We Gather the Facts

We base every score on publicly available material: a provider's own fee and terms pages, official announcements, and independent incident reports where they exist. The "at a glance" facts on a review page are refreshed whenever that review is updated.

How Often We Update

We revisit reviews on a regular basis to catch changes in fees, policy, or provider status. The "Updated" date on a review always reflects our last check, not necessarily the provider's own last change.
