Every matchup, with its scoreline
6 head-to-heads across 9 brokers. Every matchup is scored on the same five rounds — cost, trust, access, platforms and operating record — and every round is decided by one figure you can check against a public register. 6 of 6 produce a clear leader; the rest come down to what you personally weight.
