To identify these lists and compile them effectively for your business at Legacy, we follow a structured research strategy:

• Initial Search We start by conducting a broad search for pre-compiled lists from credible and reliable resources or databases. These sources are essential for providing a solid foundation for our research.
• Specific Search Techniques If we cannot find relevant lists through the initial search, we employ more specific search techniques, such as Boolean and X-ray searches. These advanced methods help us uncover hidden gems of information.
• Filtering and Sorting We use filters and sorting capabilities to refine our search results and extract only the most relevant and reliable information.
• Consistent Metrics To ensure that we are comparing apples to apples, we employ consistent metrics that apply to all items on the list. Common metrics include revenue, sales, market cap, number of users, or number of app downloads, depending on the context of your project.
• Source Verification Each item on the list is accompanied by a credible source to justify its inclusion. This helps build trust and transparency in the selection process.
• Avoid Superficial Lists We steer clear of superficial or proxy lists that might not provide a meaningful assessment of what truly qualifies as "best" or "top." For instance, we avoid lists based solely on Amazon reviews or Google search results.
• Presentation and Ranking In our findings, we provide a brief description of each item on the list, unless specific criteria dictate otherwise. If required, we rank the top items, ensuring clarity and ease of understanding for you.
• Organized Reporting We present our findings using a clear and organized format with bullet points and concise headings/subheadings for easy reference.
• Research Strategy Explanation We include a brief section explaining our research strategy. For instance, we might mention that we leveraged reputable sources available in the public domain and determined the "best" or "top" items based on repeated mentions across these sources. If we made any assumptions or calculations, we transparently state them in this section.
• Client Updates (If Necessary) - If we encounter challenges or are unable to find certain information, we provide Client Updates, including alternative research strategies we employed, what information was not available, and potential reasons for the gaps.
