Each category requires its own evidence and selection criteria. Professional qualifications are checked where relevant; commercial size alone does not establish excellence. Final criteria and any weighting are published before assessment begins.

Selection is not a numerical ranking unless an edition publishes a scoring methodology. OBS Live may recognise fewer than 100 people when evidence does not support a full selection.
