What ProofRank Looks At

Portfolio fit

Related work matters more than broad claims. Buyers should look for similar project types, platforms, and delivery examples.

Strong signal

Public review presence

Review platforms can show patterns, but buyers should read details and check recent feedback directly.

Useful signal

Service focus

A company with a clear service focus is easier to compare than a vendor that claims to do everything.

Strong signal

US buyer relevance

US buyers should check time overlap, communication process, contracts, and whether the company serves US clients.

Strong signal

Delivery model

Local, offshore, hybrid, fixed-scope, and dedicated team models all change cost, control, and communication.

Check before hiring
