First, did you know that the people behind The Heavy have been building data and insights solutions for the equipment industry for 10+ years? Due to that deep experience, along with proprietary methods for data collection and structuring, including big data-acquisition methods and AI-powered data cleansing, we have unique methods to build insights products.

This ranking leverages a database of employees for each dealer. Using proprietary collection and cleaning methods, we are able to aggregate a database of service employees with an accuracy rate of 98%. Job titles are cleaned and mapped to the standards you will see on the individual dealer pages, using a combination of manual mapping and AI-powered text classification.

As a young business, we are interested in listening to our readers and customers and understanding what they want, so we haven’t yet finalized (as of the publishing of this FAQ), our long term standard for update frequency of this data. That being said, our initial hunch is quarterly.

Absolutely. Email us at support@totheheavy.com and share your interest.

As you would imagine, we do have a roadmap for adding to this list. We tend to respect the 80/20 rule, focusing on content with the biggest audience impact.
