BC Registry Services administers the British Columbia registers of businesses, not-for-profit societies, cooperative associations and financial institutions, and states that the records it maintains are public records. Searches and certificates are supplied through its search unit and the BC OnLine service.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.

Public access
Not established The overall access position has not been established from an official source. It is recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be open.
Assessment
Strengths
The Province states that registrations of businesses, societies and cooperatives are "maintained as public records".
It is the single provincial administrator for British Columbia companies, societies, cooperative associations and provincial financial institutions.
Certificates of status, certificates of good standing and certified copies of filed documents are available as defined products.
Limitations
Search and certificate products are supplied through the registry search unit and the BC OnLine service, and paid products exist.
The registry application is client-rendered, so its search and access behaviour could not be established from the served page alone.
The Province published service-level notices at verification, with names and search at five business days and other filings at ten.
Submission guidance
Records are created through incorporation, registration, filing, or statutory processes.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
