Recognized firms carry the Fidelon market badge and are eligible for the annual plaque. Rankings move with the monthly rescore cycle — a badge that stops being true retires itself.

Rankings are computed by Fidelon — an independent transparency platform — from public regulatory filings, refreshed monthly. No firm pays for placement, and no firm can edit its score. Recognition requires a composite of 80 or higher regardless of rank.
