Ranking News Announces 2026 Methodology Briefing for Nominated Firms

Ranking News will hold a methodology briefing for firms nominated or recognized across the Ranking News network, including Advisory Ranking, Capital Ranking, Healthcare Ranking, Wealth Ranking, and other specialist ranking publications.

The session will be hosted by the Swiss Institute of Artificial Intelligence and presented by Professor Keith Lee of the Gordon School of Business at SIAI.

The briefing will provide an overview of how ranking categories are defined, how candidate firms are identified, how multiple indicators are evaluated, and how statistical analysis is combined with factual and editorial review.

It will also address the distinction between:

• editorial ranking decisions;
• the publication and maintenance of ranking results; and
• optional recognition and professional communications licensing.

Ranking inclusion, exclusion, and position are determined independently from whether a firm purchases or declines a license.
