PEER · ALL SOURCED EVIDENCE
Microsoft: all sourced evidence
Every fact and evidence item we hold, each with the page it came from and the date we read it. The score and fix list are on the Microsoft page.
Opinions and Nods evidence
What analysts, review sites and awarders say about Microsoft. An awarder-published item was read on the awarder’s own page. A vendor-published item is the company speaking about itself on its own pages (for example “named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant”): we record the placement, year and quote as published, and cannot confirm it. Scores change only under the approved rules; a person verifying an item is what lifts it above the machine ceiling.
