## Before you write about a ranking

We are happy to re-check any placement. Send the specific criterion you think we scored wrongly and the evidence — an updated curriculum, verified outcome data or corrected pricing. A request to move up without evidence will get a polite no; a documented factual error gets fixed and noted on the article.

## Security

1stepGrow never accepts file uploads or attachments. Our forms accept plain text only and automatically reject code, HTML, SQL and links to files. We will never ask you for a password, payment details or identity documents by email.
