Sources

Where the recognition
comes from.

The Almanac is built from recognition that already exists in the field. We aggregate it; we don't manufacture it. Each source links to its own site — listed so you can check our work.

A note on balance

No source should dominate.

A directory that leans on one ranking simply mirrors that ranking. We track how much of the Almanac each source accounts for, and we broaden the base so that no one source dominates it. We want a record that reflects the field rather than any one publisher's view of it.

40% maximum per source
Any single source > 40% of the record triggers rebalancing.
