Methodology

All vendor ratings and comparisons are derived from publicly observable evidence. We use vendor-published service descriptions, assessment methodology documentation, case studies, client testimonials, and pricing disclosures where available. Where information is not publicly disclosed, we note that explicitly.

Harvey ball ratings reflect relative capability within GTM talent assessment for PE portfolio companies specifically, not overall firm quality or breadth of consulting and assessment services. A vendor rated ◑ is not a bad firm — they may simply not specialize in sales-specific talent evaluation as a named PE service.
