Our 5-star shortlist is deliberately small. Volume of hype is not a substitute for quality. Every review is anchored to a real, recorded session — no anonymous or off-platform feedback. Keep your session transcript. Patterns reveal themselves on re-reading. We flag advisors who slip below our minimum feedback floor rather than quietly hiding them. Every profile carries a published refund policy and a verified identity, not just a rating. If the first match is off, our list is small enough to try the second reader the same day.
