Why 79/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Heather Markoff: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- Local presence in York not confirmed. No public source proves how many files were closed in this specific sector — only the professional holds that figure.
Is this profile about you?
Your score is public, criterion by criterion. Up to 7 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 7 pts — your presence in York: files closed there over the past twelve months, and the address of the office that serves it
We verify, we date it, we publish. It is free, and it buys no ranking — only an accurate profile.
