Why 87/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Michael Lau: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- No verifiable distinction found (industry award, press citation, teaching role). Absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
Is this profile about you?
Your score is public, criterion by criterion. Up to 5 points are out of reach — not because you don't deserve them, but because no public source lets us verify them. From you, we need:
- up to 5 pts — a verifiable distinction: an industry award, a press citation, a teaching role
We verify, we date it, we publish. It is free, and it buys no ranking — only an accurate profile.
