Where Render stands against these 10
Render's own sourced figures, placed among the alternatives above that document the same thing in the same unit. A rank here is one criterion, not a verdict; the iScore above weighs all of them.

A rank whose 80% interval overlaps its neighbour's is an ordering, not a finding; the intervals are on each provider's page and in /scores.json.
