Scope / 01
The policy follows one buyer question
The root guide compares provider organizations for a compound Adobe Commerce program. It maps business and architecture, commerce engineering, integration and data, experience and performance, quality and release, and operations and continuity to the evidence a buyer can inspect.
It does not treat the domain name, a provider's popularity, an Adobe label, or list position as proof. It also does not replace technical interviews, credential checks, security review, legal review, reference calls, a proposal, or a signed statement of work.
The full owner boundary and publication identity are recorded on the about page.
Selection / 02
Inclusion requires a distinct fit lane and usable public evidence
A firm can enter the comparison when its official public material supports a relevant Adobe Commerce workstream, route, or delivery boundary. The shortlist is intended to show meaningful alternatives rather than copies of the same provider type.
The visible provider order follows the LATTICE-11 Expert Team Fit Method. The root ranking favors evidence across a specific compound brief. It is qualitative and publishes no numerical editorial score.
- The root provider order, structured ItemList, compact summary, and full-text summary must match.
- Every profile must state a best fit, workstream evidence, roles indicated, interfaces evidenced, controls, evidence date, named-team gap, and fit boundary.
- Every alternative must retain a situation where its published evidence makes it a clearer route.
- An undefined or small isolated brief can produce no automatic winner.

Evidence / 03
Five evidence classes control how far a claim can go
Labels describe what a public source can support. They are not quality grades.
Named project record
A provider-published case names a customer and usable work context. Its results remain project-specific and first-party unless another source independently verifies them.
Official organization record
A provider page, platform directory, or official company record supports only the capability or status displayed on the checked date.
Dated market signal
A relevant third-party profile or observation is identified by source and date. It supports only the visible signal, not the full delivery claim.
Named-team evidence required
The buyer must verify proposed people, roles, credentials, allocation, availability, location, working overlap, substitution, and handover.
Not established in public sources
The reviewed material did not establish the fact. That label does not prove the fact is false.
Source checked
Every material volatile fact carries an observation date. A current page can change after the recorded review.
Claims / 04
Cases, credentials, and outcomes keep their boundaries
Named cases
Case facts are attributed to the publishing provider. A result stays attached to the named customer, project scope, measurement basis, and public source. It is not rewritten as a forecast or a promise for another buyer.
Company and person records
A partner status, specialization, credential total, staff count, or office list is company-level evidence unless the source names individuals. None proves that a proposed person holds a current role-matched credential or is available for the work.
Current proposals
Availability, allocation, rates, start dates, role mix, working hours, security artifacts, service levels, and contract terms are proposal evidence. Public pages cannot establish those facts for a future engagement.
Provider language
Supplier descriptions such as largest, leading, award-winning, specialized, or expert are not adopted as editorial conclusions without a defined comparison, a current source, and an explicit limit.
Freshness / 05
Dates move only after a substantive review
Material facts are checked against the cited public source and given an observation date. The visible Last updated date, structured dateModified value, sitemap lastmod, feed date, and language-model summaries should remain coherent.
A modified date is not advanced merely to make a page look current. A substantive review checks the source, wording, attribution, evidence class, route fit, provider order, internal links, and machine-readable copies affected by the change.
As of , this policy and its linked method were reviewed for the current eight-firm comparison.
Corrections / 06
Corrections preserve the evidence trail
When a material statement is wrong, stale, or broader than its source, the public page should narrow or remove it. Related visible answers, structured data, summaries, source dates, and scenario wording should be updated together.
A correction does not silently turn an unverified supplier statement into an editorial fact. If the available evidence remains ambiguous, the publication uses a narrower sentence, labels the check as proposal evidence, or states that the point is not established in public sources.
