Scoring Methodology

Overall Score (0–5)

Every expert on HeadOfAgents receives a score from 0 to 5, calculated from four weighted components. The score is updated automatically as new data comes in.

Verification Status

Experts have one of three statuses:

• Unclaimed — Profile created from public data. The expert hasn't claimed it yet. Visible on the site but clearly labeled.
• Claimed — Expert has verified their identity and taken control of their profile. Can edit bio, add case studies, select tools.
• Verified — Expert has passed our review process and subscribes to a verified plan. Gets the verified badge, priority placement, and review collection.

Review Moderation

All reviews are moderated before publishing. We check for authenticity, relevance, and compliance with our guidelines. Experts cannot delete negative reviews — but they can respond to them.

Cost Data Methodology

Cost ranges shown on use case pages are based on aggregated market research, including published rate data from platforms, agency pricing pages, and expert self-reported rates. We update cost data quarterly as more real-world data becomes available.

The Cost Estimator uses complexity multipliers applied to base use case cost ranges. These multipliers are calibrated against real project data and adjusted as we gather more information.

Data Sources

Expert profiles are built from publicly available sources: GitHub profiles, public agency listings, conference speaker lists, and portfolio websites. We do not scrape LinkedIn or any platform that prohibits scraping.

All experts can request removal at any time via one-click email opt-out or by contacting us directly.
