Why it surfaced

The Shortlist Report asks buyer-style questions repeatedly, publishes response counts, sample sizes, firms measured, and its methodology, then adds corrections when needed. Its reports openly acknowledge when samples cannot separate leading firms instead of turning close results into fake certainty.
