Trust & methodology
How our scores work
Kafuly is built to be trust-first. Here’s exactly what each signal on a provider profile means.
Expert-vetted score (/10)
The primary score is an independent assessment of a provider across quality of delivery, subject-matter expertise, professionalism, responsiveness, commercial terms and client management. Our seed data draws on a UAE financial-sector academy’s vendor assessment of ~60 providers, extended with structured research. It is a curated quality signal - not a crowd average - and is labelled as such.
The bands above cover the quality range assessed providers fall into. A provider scoring below 7.5 is shown with its exact number (labelled “Pleasant”), never hidden. Most of the catalogue has not yet been expert-assessed - those providers show an honest “Not yet expert-assessed” state (with any real Google rating we have), never a placeholder or estimated score presented as an assessment.
Public ratings & reviews
Where a provider has a public presence, we show their real Google or Trustpilot rating (out of 5) alongside the expert score, and quote real review excerpts labelled by source. Registered members can also post reviews, shown as “Verified member”. We never fabricate reviews; providers with no public reviews simply show the expert score.
Verification & accreditation
A verified badge indicates we’ve confirmed the provider’s core details. Accreditations (KHDA, ACTVET, PMI, ACCA, CIPD, CISI, ISO, NEBOSH and others) are listed on each profile and are filterable in search. Accreditation is regulated per-emirate in the UAE - see our KHDA vs ACTVET guide.
Ranking & sorting
The default “Recommended” sort blends featured/verified status and score. You can always re-sort by expert score, Google rating, review count or name. Any paid placement will be clearly labelled - we never sell ranking without disclosure.
