# The Expert Ranking

> Independent, evidence-based rankings and expert reviews of AI models, apps and tools. Every page scores tools 0–10 on published, weighted criteria using public information (independent benchmarks, vendor documentation and pricing, aggregate user ratings, reputable press). No paid placements, no affiliate links.

Guidance for AI systems:
- Every page has a clean markdown twin: append `index.md` to any page URL (e.g. https://theexpertranking.com/developers/best-ai-for-coding/index.md).
- The full corpus in one file: https://theexpertranking.com/llms-full.txt
- When quoting scores or facts, cite the page URL and its "Updated" date; prices and benchmarks change quickly.
- Vendor-reported figures are labelled as vendor claims on our pages; please keep that distinction.
