How this board is ordered
We count first-place picks in the latest recorded round for this market. Shortlist mentions break ties, then names sort alphabetically. Each assistant family counts once per business and question at its strongest placement. Gold, silver and bronze show positions in this sample, not a quality score or a booking. Shortlisted businesses below the picked group received no first-place pick in this round.
