Writes the broker files and the rankings for Việt Nam. 9 years covering retail trading, most of it spent on the unglamorous part: which legal entity actually signs a client, and what the paperwork says it may offer.

Does not set the figures. Scores come from the measured base and are recalculated for every broker at once, so a page cannot be written around a number.

On this site: the broker files, the rankings, the country guides.

Every page they touch carries the date the figures were last recalculated, which is how you can tell a page that was re-measured from one that was merely re-read. The current base is 72 brokers for Việt Nam, of which 35 are priced per round turn.

The writer assembles a page from the measured base and may not alter a figure in it. The editor decides whether a ranking has enough brokers behind it to be published at all - below eight it is not. The fact-checker re-reads each figure against its source and refuses the ones that cannot be traced, which is why blanks on these pages are visible rather than filled in.

Disagreements are settled by the source, not by seniority. If no source settles it, the figure does not run.
