Editorial Policies
Independence
No editorial team member holds a financial interest in, employment with, or consulting relationship with any nominee. Team members are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest, which are reviewed and documented.
Dual Review
Every category assessment is reviewed by at least two independent editorial team members before results are finalised. Disagreements are escalated to the Editor-in-Chief for resolution.
Anonymity
We publish editorial roles and initials rather than full identities to prevent lobbying, pressure, or solicitation from nominees or third parties. This decision is made to protect editorial independence, not to obscure accountability.
Recusal
If an editorial team member identifies a personal or professional relationship with a nominee, they recuse themselves from that nominee's assessment. The recusal is documented internally.
