What qualifies

The current directory contains 1907 practices. Inclusion is not a rank or a nomination accepted for a final award. For the annual table, each candidate must pass the same source and performance checks; the documented performance evidence must be assessed before annual positions can be published.

100 practice research dossiers

The reference register samples countries in rounds from the source-verified Global 1000 collection. Each dossier links selection evidence, public contact routes and representative work. Order is a coverage method, not a design-quality score. Six-dimension annual eligibility and scores remain unassigned.
