RankingsHistorical policy

No historical ranking without comparable evidence

Historical views need dated, complete observations with a comparable method. This page explains the current archive policy and treatment of legacy URLs.

Archive status

Policy page, not a ranking dataset

This archive is marked noindex and emits no ranking or dataset schema. It will become a dated archive only when every published period has a known method, sample, update date and complete rows.

How legacy URLs are treated

Valuable category URLs

Selected old /rankings/industry/… URLs move to the matching current /rankings/category/… page, within the rankings product.

Thin or irrelevant categories

Categories outside the curated set consolidate to the rankings hub instead of becoming thousands of near-empty pages.

Brand and comparison directories

Legacy brand, agency, investor, sector and pair-comparison routes consolidate to the rankings hub. The current product does not claim evidence for those page types.

Insufficient current categories

A category route can explain why it failed, but it is marked noindex and emits no ranking schema until the live evidence passes.

When a historical table can publish

  • Every period has a real source date and no future-dated records.
  • The scoring method and model coverage are comparable, or the break is clearly labelled.
  • Each period passes the same minimum sample, uniqueness and measurement checks as a current page.
  • Missing periods stay missing. They are never estimated or backfilled without source observations.
  • Movement is calculated only between comparable published observations.
