LLMName and shame
Who benefits from these rankings
The businesses promoted by commissioned, vendor-funded "best of" lists, and the companies promoted by ranking sites built to favour them. Each row links to the list and states the basis: the page's own disclosure, the vendor's sales material, or our reading of the facts. A high position does not establish that a named business paid for it; each row states what is known.

Every business named here has a right of reply on the listing that names it. If a list is later taken down, or a business shows us it did not pay, we say so on the record.
