I've spent a lot of time trying to sort through the noise when researching software companies, so I totally get the frustration with vague lists and biased rankings. When I was putting together info for a healthcare project, I came across a genuinely helpful breakdown at https://limeup.io/blog/healthcare-software-development-companies/ (https://limeup.io/blog/healthcare-software-development-companies/) that gives clear, experience-based insights rather than just promo fluff. It helped me narrow down options and ask the right questions without feeling sold to. Just thought I'd share since solid, honest resources make these decisions way easier.
