Commercial transparency →Selection & editorial standards
A credible identity, built on evidence
01
Nomination and review
Each edition publishes eligibility, geography, assessment period and submission requirements. Nominations include identity, professional role, relevant achievements, supporting evidence and permission to contact the nominee.
02
Assessment
The editorial and research team reviews evidence against category-specific criteria — achievement, originality, leadership, professional quality, responsible practice and measurable contribution. Criteria and any weighting are published before assessment.
03
Independent judgement
Editors retain final selection authority, supported where appropriate by qualified reviewers. Conflicts are declared and managed. An advisory role or commercial relationship does not confer selection authority.
04
Commercial transparency
Payment, sponsorship, advertising and event purchases do not secure inclusion. Optional commercial products offered to selected participants are clearly separated from editorial recognition.
05
Accuracy and accountability
We seek reliable sources, verify material claims and provide a route for corrections. Misrepresentation or material errors may lead to correction, withdrawal or further review.
06
Not a ranking
Each category is a separate annual selection of up to 100 people. It does not imply a numerical ranking unless an edition publishes a scoring methodology. OBS Live may recognise fewer people when evidence does not support a full selection.
A year-round editorial platform
Selected profiles can support interviews, digital features, programme appearances and a special publication. Inclusion does not guarantee every format or an event invitation.
International relevance
Editions may be regional, national or international. Each edition states its geography, eligibility, review period and selection approach.
