Choose a small group worth a conversation

Save profiles that match your location and stated needs, then open a comparison of up to four. The comparison shows published details side by side. It does not calculate a quality score, infer fees, or rank expected investment results.

Create a consistent set of questions

Ask each firm how the engagement would work, what is included, who handles ongoing communication, and how compensation is calculated. Where the directory says a detail is not published, ask directly. Record the answer and the date instead of treating an empty field as a zero.

Keep your research portable

Your saved list lives in the current browser and is not synced to an account. Copy a profile link or print your checklist if you need a durable reference elsewhere. Revisit official sources before acting, especially if your research has been sitting for a while.
