A search sample is not a census. Category positions remain frozen; composite scores describe observed inputs and do not move positions. Missing credentials are unknown, not proof of absence. Company statements are unverified as performance claims. Do not infer quality, structural safety, review recency or service-area coverage from these statistics.
