The Sartori Firm Index measures footprint and momentum (scale · reach · hiring), not practice quality. It never assigns an Atlas tier, and the Atlas never reuses this number — the two lenses are deliberately separate.
02 — Where this firm is ranked
Ranking Atlas & Firm Index
No composite firm score is published. Atlas tiers are assigned per market or practice from public footprint and evidence; the Firm Index leaderboards are a separate footprint lens.
