The directory of French chartered accountants published by the Order of Chartered Accountants. Its stated purpose is to verify that a professional entrusted with accounting work is an expert-comptable entered on the roll of the Order, which is required because the profession holds an exclusive prerogative over accountancy engagements.
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.
Partly open The directory was served anonymously with no credential, with a locality field and a search control, so login is recorded as not required. No query was executed, so result content and any limits were not observed and stay null.

Assessment
Strengths
The Order states the directory’s purpose in verification terms — checking that a professional is an expert-comptable inscribed on the roll of the Order.
It makes the exclusive prerogative explicit: accountancy engagements covered by it may be carried out only by an expert-comptable.
It gives a documented route when someone is not found, directing the reader to a reporting form or to the regional council of the Order.
Limitations
Inscription on the roll is required to carry out reserved accountancy engagements, so this is a licence register — but an entry says nothing about how any engagement was performed.
The Order directs unresolved cases to the regional council, so the national directory reflects decisions taken regionally rather than centrally.
The entry point published by the Order redirects cross-host to a separate directory domain, so a bookmark may not land on the address the reader started from.
The Order presents a figure of 22,000 experts-comptables on the directory itself, which is a headline count rather than a statement that every entry is current at the moment of reading.
No search was executed during verification, so result content and any limits were not observed and none is asserted.

Best for
Verifying that a person offering to keep your accounts is an expert-comptable entered on the roll.
Establishing that an accountancy engagement is being carried out by someone entitled to it.
Not recommended for
Judging the quality of an accountant. The directory records inscription, not performance.
Concluding from absence that a person is not registered. The Order asks readers to report a gap or contact the regional council.

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.
