2026-09-22Method 2.0 rewrite. New architecture: direct answer, ranking table, weighted criteria, per-agency detail, scenario table, question-by-question answers, support dates, risk list, the when-not-to-choose-scandiweb table, three long-form sections, FAQ, and method summary on the ranking page; per-agency profile pages; author pages; evidence ledger with statuses; methodology, editorial policy, glossary, and three guides added. All seven homepages, five Clutch profiles, hyva.io, seven Adobe pages, and six scandiweb case studies re-read. Removed for lack of a source on the day: Wagento's Pune office (not on its homepage), scandiweb's AWS Partner statement (not on its homepage), and the MAGENTO_CLOUD_RELATIONSHIPS variable name (its page no longer exists under Adobe's reorganized documentation). Adobe page dates updated: Fastly from 2 June to 25 August 2026, Pro architecture from 14 May to 1 September 2026, Cloud Service documentation from 20 August to 11 September 2026; the Luma statement now sits on Adobe's Cloud Service overview rather than its migration page. Added today: MGT Commerce's Berlin registration, founding year, headcount, and printed prices; Sonassi's Manchester address and Clutch figures; Wagento's, Snowdog's, and Williams Commerce's Clutch figures; Snowdog's Hyvä Gold listing; Adobe's feature comparison; 2.4.9 lifecycle dates and the security-only period column. scandiweb's service link changed to its live migration services page. Pre-publication review removed statements attributed to Adobe's pricing page (the page did not load for verification), scandiweb's LinkedIn headcount (no source row), and Hyvä project and developer counts from body copy, and corrected Sonassi's position to its own wording (no proactive development services) and the 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 support status to Adobe's security-only period. Roster and ranks unchanged.
