02How it works

A clear process. From start to shortlist.

  1. Step 01

    Tell us what matters

    Your goals, essential needs and preferences.

  2. Step 02

    We evaluate the options

    Requirements first. Research and priorities determine the fit.

  3. Step 03

    Explore your matches

    See the strongest fits, explanations and trade-offs.

03Our principles

The rules behind every recommendation.

  1. Principle 01: Essential needs come first

    Essential requirements determine which platforms qualify before preferences shape the ranking. If nothing meets every requirement, we show the closest compromises — not a false match.

  2. Principle 02: One consistent research framework

    Platforms are assessed against defined criteria. Your answers change what matters most in the calculation, not the standards used to assess each provider.

  3. Principle 03: No paid ranking positions

    Affiliate relationships may support Compare North, but they never influence provider eligibility, research scores or ranking order.
