Editorial Standards

ProScore content is produced by the ProScore Editorial Team, a brand-level editorial entity. We do not credit individual authors by name to maintain editorial consistency and protect contributors from coordinated retaliation by parties critical of independent contractor evaluation.

Our editorial team includes researchers, data analysts, and writers with combined experience in trades regulation, consumer protection, Ontario contractor licensing, and home-services market research.

• ·Government data sources are primary: ESA (Electrical Safety Authority), TSSA (Technical Standards & Safety Authority), HCRA (Home Construction Regulatory Authority), WSIB (Workplace Safety & Insurance Board), and BBB (Better Business Bureau).
• ·Pricing data in cost guides is researched from current Ontario market data and reviewed quarterly.
• ·Our methodology page describes how the ProScore Trust Index is calculated.
• ·All numeric claims are sourced; all opinion is clearly labeled.

• ·Content is reviewed at every deploy. The “Updated [Month YYYY]” label on each guide reflects the most recent editorial review.
• ·Methodology updates are versioned (current: v4.1).
• ·Blog and learn articles are reviewed quarterly for accuracy against current Ontario market conditions.

We correct factual errors as soon as they are identified. Notable corrections are noted in the page’s “Updated” date when published.

To report a factual error or request a correction, contact support@proscore.ca with the URL and the specific issue.

ProScore offers paid memberships to contractors (Verified, Growth, Premium tiers). These memberships do not influence the ProScore Trust Index, which is calculated from public data sources and applied uniformly. The methodology page explains the scoring algorithm in full transparency.

ProScore does not accept payment for placement, paid reviews, inflated ratings, or “sponsored” inclusion in best-of lists. Trust Index calculations are uniform across paid and unpaid contractor profiles.
