Industry Firms (4)
All major firms are considered for inclusion in each Surviscor review.
How are the firms determined?
Surviscor is responsible for selecting the firms to be reviewed based on industry importance and access to account information.
Do the firms pay to be in the reviews?
No. Unlike most other reviews, Surviscor reviews are not pay-for-play allowing consumers to trust that the key firms were included in each review.
Do the firms participate in the review?
Each firm is approached to participate through questionnaires and in-person reviews. Not all firms co-operate in the process.
Can a firm choose NOT to be in a review?
No. Many firms would love to be excluded but Surviscor includes as many as possible to ensure the results are relevant and indicative of the industry experience.
scorCard Methodology (4)
All scorCards™ are divided into key measurement categories, each containing sub-categories of multiple objective criteria. Each category is weighted according to their industry-defined importance, and each company is provided with a category ranking and overall ranking.
Is the review a consumer survey?

Who performs the reviews?
Each firm is individually evaluated by Surviscor staff and partners using a simulated-usage approach.
Who determines the category weightings?
The categories are weighted according to industry-defined importance by participating firms.
Who determines the sub-category weightings?
