Every company profile on this site runs the same 5-point evidence check — identity and licensing, pricing transparency, complaint patterns, refund terms, and independent evidence — with sources and dates on the page. Paid placement never changes a verdict, a ranking, or a review. Companies are listed by the line they are best known for; several appear in more than one comparison.

How to use this index
Start from the decision, not the brand: run the tool for your line from the tools hub, shortlist on the comparison pages, then read the profile and legit check for any company you are seriously considering. If a company is not listed here yet, its evidence check has not been published — we would rather say that than fill the space with a brochure summary.
