How the rankings are made
An entry earns its place on evidence a reader can check: filings, disclosed transactions, and figures attributed to a named source. We do not estimate a number in order to publish it, and we do not rank anyone on a figure we cannot attribute. Where a valuation is contested, we say so and give both figures.
