How practice and review evidence differ.
For medical-malpractice comparisons, the practice-evidence gate requires a public practice signal or sufficient context-classified review evidence, in addition to the public-review input gate. This supports a bounded comparison of public information. It does not establish specialization, expertise, credentials, legal merit, likely outcomes, or fit for any individual matter.
The practice gate decides whether an office belongs in this comparison. The Review Evidence Score then compares public-rating, depth, recommendation, communication, public owner-response, consistency, and low-concern signals. Neither step evaluates legal skill or likely results.
