I used to rely on rankings because they felt simple. A list, a score, a quick decision. It seemed efficient. But over time, I noticed something didn’t add up. Numbers can hide context. I would see different platforms ranked highly for reasons that weren’t always clear. Some emphasized bonuses, others focused on design, and a few barely explained anything at all. I realized I wasn’t evaluating safety—I was trusting summaries. So I changed my approach.
