I’ll review your company, problem and budget, then send a focused shortlist. No pay-to-rank placements and no generic agency spreadsheet.

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%

Migration experience

Public evidence around redesigns, replatforming, domain moves or consolidation.

30%

Risk and QA

Redirect mapping, parity checks, launch controls, monitoring and rollback thinking.

20%

Complexity fit

Platform, enterprise, ecommerce and international architecture experience.

15%

Public evidence

Attributable specialist work and transparent proof limitations.

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.
