The other profiles are on the list. Each one says who leads the firm when a source named them, work they can show when they published it, and a price when they published one.
How to use the list
Write what done looks like in one paragraph. Keep the two or three firms whose reason matches that job. Ask each for one piece of work like yours, and the name of the person who would do it.
The order weighs how long the firm has done the work, clients it can name, its size, and how clear its specialism is. A featured card, where one appears, is paid placement for Fracs and sits outside the ranking.
