The Sartori Firm Index measures footprint and momentum (scale · reach · hiring), not practice quality. It never assigns an Atlas tier, and the Atlas never reuses this number — the two lenses are deliberately separate.

Know the limits of this data
- —Figures are bands, not audited counts; public sources lag reality by weeks or months.
- —Atlas tiers are Sartori’s independent editorial opinion — not the firm’s claim, and not a client-satisfaction measure.
- —No firm-level numeric score exists; Atlas tiers apply only within their own market or practice.
- —No third-party legal-directory band is used as an input.
Corrections from the firm or its representatives are reviewed within five working days.
