Latest published PTC rankings.
Rankings are derived from PTC datasets and published monthly. Movement indicators compare the firm's rank against the previous published snapshot where one exists; no movement is shown otherwise.
Model coverage
How much of the tracked universe each published PTC model currently covers.
PTC publishes coverage rather than implying completeness. Firms classified internal / insufficient are modelled but not shown publicly, and firms outside a model's universe scope are not modelled at all. Active Trader coverage is 213 of 306 tracked firms.

- Derived
