Industries — category index
The industries index gathers every industry ranking, grouping providers by the sectors their offers serve. Families span software and business sectors, regulated trades, health, legal and property, consumer travel, and logistics.
Listing scope
Each entry links to one industry ranking article with its scope note and ordered table. Sector tables without eligible providers show an empty state rather than an invented order for readers.
Column derivations
The ranking column names the sector label, and the family column places each sector in its trade group. The ranked-or-listed column reflects coverage against the threshold, and the leader mirrors the top table row. Industry placement follows the same category evidence method as service tables, rewarding documented sector work. Umbrella rules do not touch industry tables, which grade each sector strictly on its own evidence. Tied providers share a rank within one point of the leader, with later ranks skipping accordingly.
Use of the index
Readers pick a sector table, read its scope note, then open provider articles for full evidence. Method detail sits on the methodology page, with shared sector terms from link building.
