The matrix
Each row is one review page. We take only what the page itself shows on the read date. Cells marked "Not checked yet" are open: the page has not been read for this table, and the cell is not a finding.

How to read this table
Disclosure has three values: near the top of the page, at the bottom, or none. Method linked means the page links to a page that explains how it ranks.
Bottom line: the matrix is a frame with eight pages to read; no cell is filled with a guess.
Summary: how many reviews name each brand
Once at least 12 pages are read, the summary will give, for each brand, the number of reviews that place it in their top five and its registry status. The summary feeds the ranking by top-five count and the registry match.
Brands outside both registries are shown as "not in the ON and AB registries" and are counted without a name. The count is not published yet.
How we check
- Open the review page on a stated date and record the date it shows.
- Record the brands in positions one to five, as the page orders them.
- Note whether a disclosure of a commercial link appears near the top, at the bottom or not at all.
- Note whether the page links to a method.
The selection and recording rules are on the reviewer survey method. A review owner who thinks a row is wrong can use the corrections page.

FAQ
What does the matrix record?
For each review page: the URL, the date shown on the page, the date we read it, the brands in positions one to five, where the disclosure of a commercial link sits, and whether a method is linked.
Does the matrix copy the reviews?
No. It records positions, dates and the presence of a disclosure. Quotes from a review are limited to 15 words and carry the URL and the date.
How are brands outside the registries shown?
In the cell as 'not in the ON and AB registries', without a name, and counted. Names are kept in our working notes until a legal opinion allows them.
How many reviews will the matrix hold?
At least 12. Eight are named below; the rest come from the source list collected on 2026-11-06.
