1. Choose a common scope. Select known handles and supported sites. Keep the comparison question consistent.
2. Record setup and access. Note versions, timeouts and conditions. Local tools and browser previews have different limits.
3. Review every lead. Verify exact profile URLs and separate unknown responses from supported matches.
4. Avoid a broad ranking. A small exercise or one case study cannot establish accuracy across every platform.
