We score tools on five dimensions (0–5) from public, verifiable information: implementation friction (ease of getting started), integration maturity (APIs, SSO, export), pricing transparency, security posture (heuristic from vendor statements), and SME fit (overall fit for time-poor, budget-conscious UK SMEs). We also record flags: GDPR/DPA claimed, UK/EU data hosting, SSO, and audit logs.
