Sources & Methodology

How We Gather Data

Network profiles are compiled from publicly available information including company websites, press releases, industry reports, regulatory filings, and third-party news coverage. We do not use proprietary or confidential data.

Data Points We Track

Each network profile includes the following where available:

  • Company name, headquarters, and founding year
  • Approximate expert count and employee count
  • Core services and AI capabilities
  • Industries served and geographic focus
  • Pricing model
  • Key differentiators
  • Compliance approach (MNPI policies, vetting procedures)
  • Best-fit buyer persona (PE, consulting, hedge fund, corporate)

Expert Counts & Employee Numbers

These figures are approximate and typically sourced from company websites, LinkedIn, press releases, and industry reports. Expert counts in particular are self-reported by networks and vary in definition — some count registered experts, others count active or vetted experts. We report the most commonly cited figure and note the source date.

News Curation

Industry news is curated from third-party journalism, industry reports, and analyst coverage. We label the source of each article. Where a news item originates from a press release wire service (e.g., Business Wire, PR Newswire), we label it as such — these are company-originated announcements distributed via paid channels, not independent reporting.

What We Exclude

We aim to exclude self-promotional content disguised as news. However, we may include company announcements when they contain material facts (funding rounds, acquisitions, product launches) and we label them honestly as company-sourced.

Corrections & Updates

If you identify inaccurate information on this site, please reach out. We review corrections promptly and update profiles with a new "last updated" timestamp. Each profile shows when it was last reviewed.

Inclusion Criteria

To be listed on ExpertNetworks.net, a company must:

  • Operate primarily as an expert network (connecting clients with subject-matter experts)
  • Have a public-facing website with verifiable information
  • Be actively operating (not defunct or acquired without a successor product)

We do not charge for inclusion and do not accept payment for favorable profiles.

Limitations

This site does not yet cover the full landscape of 100+ active expert networks globally. We are expanding coverage and prioritize accuracy over quantity. Our current directory is a growing subset, not an exhaustive list.
