Editorial scores are a transparent starting signal, not an objective claim of “best”. Each row is reviewed against its linked public sources; paid movement never changes the evidence.

Advertising, clearly labelled.

A completed bid buys sponsored visibility, not editorial approval. The paid layer is separate from the evidence-based opening order and is labelled wherever it appears.
