What you get2–3 relevant optionsTrade-offs explainedA direct recommendation

Methodology

A ranking should explain its judgment.

Scores are a starting point, not a substitute for fit. Each category changes the weighting so a technical-recovery specialist is not judged like a SaaS growth lead.

35%

Public evidence

Documented roles, case studies, specialist work and verifiable results, not follower count.

30%

Problem fit

How closely the consultant's visible specialism matches the company, problem and intended outcome.

20%

Delivery fit

Whether the buyer needs an audit, advisory, fractional ownership or hands-on execution.

15%

Consensus

Repeated inclusion in current expert comparisons, discounted when a source ranks its own publisher.

Strong public record

Official evidence plus multiple relevant third-party sources or attributable results.

Supported profile

Official evidence plus at least one meaningful corroborating source.

Provisional profile

Identity and specialism are visible, but independent results or reviews remain limited.

Score and publisher disclosure

Dan Akeju created this directory and is included in it. No consultant paid for placement. The 5-point directory assessment is the editorial score divided by 20. Credentials, results, reviews and testimonials receive evidence-coverage scores based on attributable public sourcing. These are not customer ratings or invented outcomes. Age receives 0/100 when no reliable public source exists and is never estimated.
