- Domain Rating
- Not measured
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
- Open Care Inspectorate Wales links the public directly to a directory of all registered care services with no sign-in step; the directory itself is served from a separate digital subdomain.
Assessment
Strengths
- Care Inspectorate Wales publishes a directory of all registered care services and links to it directly from its home page.
- It exercises its functions on behalf of the Welsh Ministers, so the directory is a government record rather than a trade listing.
- Adult care, children’s services, care homes, domiciliary support and childcare settings are all covered in one place.
Limitations
- It covers Wales only. The equivalent registers for England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are kept by different regulators and are not interchangeable.
- Registration means a service is registered and subject to inspection. It does not establish that it is currently compliant or well run.
- The directory is served from a separate digital subdomain, so a bookmark to the main site is not a bookmark to the register.

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.
