Evidence on file
Each line is a datapoint with its grade. Grades are the ones the anchors act on: a sub-criterion scored 5 requires at least one E1 or E2 source, and evidence that is entirely E3 caps the sub-criterion at 3.
9 claims on this sheet, by grade: E1 2 E2 3 E3 4 E5 1 Counts sum above 9 because 1 claim cites more than one grade.
- Madrid head office — Grupo Konectanet S.L.U., C/ Serrano 41, 28001 Madrid — founded 1999, merged with Comdata (Milan, 1987) in 2022. Ownership is the founder-led management team under José María Pacheco holding the majority, with Intermediate Capital Group at 49.9%. PAI Partners exited alongside Banco Santander when ICG and management acquired the group; it is not a current owner Split grade. E1 for the registered office: Registro Mercantil entry B87132932 and grupokonecta.com’s own contact page. E3 for the founding year and the merger, which are company-stated. Ownership per the ICG/management acquisition record; PAI’s exit is documented in its own transaction reporting. Read 28 Aug 2026 E1E3
- Headcount conflict across Konecta’s own materials: the current locations page states “over 109,000 experience makers” across 28 countries, 40+ languages and 180+ sites, while older boilerplate giving 130,000 across 24–26 countries and 30 languages remains live on third-party profiles. The lower corroborated figure is used, per the published conflict rule konecta.com/about-us/locations, read 28 Aug 2026 — “28 countries, covering +40 languages in +180 sites” and “over 109,000 experience makers”. Company-stated on both sides of the conflict, so E3 E3
- Group revenue of approximately €2 billion, with a stated Katalyst 2028 target of €2.5 billion Konecta’s own Non-Financial Information Statement 2024, corroborated independently in Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 European customer experience assessment. Read 28 Aug 2026 — an independent analyst source agrees with the company figure, so E2 E2
- Everest Group CXM Services PEAK Matrix EMEA: Leader, six consecutive years; one of five Leaders among 35 providers assessed (2025). Plus NelsonHall and Everest merger analyses; sixth-largest CXM by revenue at merger Konecta release on the Everest Group CXM Services PEAK Matrix 2025 EMEA; read 28 Aug 2026 — sixth consecutive year as a Leader, one of five among 35 providers assessed E1
- Per-country language coverage is published on the locations pages: the France hub lists 19 European languages — Spanish, Catalan, English, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Flemish, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Polish, Latvian, Slovakian, Albanian, Estonian, Czech and Hungarian — a verifiable page rather than a marketed total grupokonecta.com country pages, read 28 Aug 2026. Company-stated but page-level and checkable, unlike a group marketing total. The Portugal hub figure of 10 languages previously carried here could not be confirmed and has been removed rather than restated from a weaker source E3
- 2026: Cairo regional headquarters and Konecta’s first global generative-AI Centre of Excellence, on a stated $100M investment, opening with 800 multilingual specialists across seven languages and a plan to reach 3,000 by the end of 2028. Follows a January 2025 memorandum with Egypt’s ITIDA Konecta’s own announcement, corroborated independently by Daily News Egypt, Channel Post MEA and ITWeb Africa, all July 2026. Read 28 Aug 2026 — two or more independent sources agree, so E2 E2
- More than 500 clients, concentrated in banking, telco, utilities and retail Konecta’s own Non-Financial Information Statement 2024, read 28 Aug 2026. Company-stated; the sector concentration is Konecta’s own characterisation and no client list is published E3
- Review platforms: no meaningful Clutch/G2 footprint — confirmed absence Clutch and G2 provider profiles searched for a Konecta review footprint; no meaningful review volume located on either. checked during the 12–26 August 2026 evidence window An absence established by our own search of the platforms, not a third party attesting to it — graded E5 under the scale’s “not published, verify directly”, which is what an absence finding is. E5
- Employer signal: Glassdoor “Konecta Group” (E9235118) reads 3.2 across 1,037 reviews, 51% recommend, compensation 2.7, work-life 2.9. Two smaller unmerged entities also exist on the platform — “Konecta” (E3760825) at 43 reviews and “Grupo Konecta” (E346301). The largest governs under the published A4.1 source-selection rule, and 3.2 sits in the 3.0–3.4 band, so A4.1 scores 1 Glassdoor profile E9235118, read 28 Aug 2026. An earlier reading of this claim cited 3.1 across 47 reviews, which is neither the largest profile nor the company-wide figure; the anchor is unchanged at 1 either way E2
Where this provider stands out
Computed from this provider’s anchor scores against the 29-provider field it is scored in, from the 9 public claims above: the sub-criteria where it sits furthest above the field median, and furthest below. Selection is by distance from the field, not by raw score — a 5 where most of the field scores 5 says nothing. These are scores for what a provider publishes, so a low score can mean a weak record or a quiet one, and this block cannot tell them apart.
Furthest above the field
- payment & data handling A3.2 3/5 — 1 above the field median of 2
- native-language delivery B2.1 4/5 — 1 above the field median of 3
- channel coverage B1.1 5/5 — 1 above the field median of 4; joint highest, with 4 of 28 others
Furthest below the field
- named cases A1.3 1/5 — 1 below the field median of 2
- compliance transparency A3.4 1/5 — 1 below the field median of 2; joint lowest, with 10 of 28 others
Criterion scores
Sub-criterion anchor scores in criterion order, with the weighted criterion total computed from them. Multiply each anchor by its sub-criterion weight over five and sum: that is the whole arithmetic, and it is why this total can be checked without taking anyone's word.
| Code | Criterion | Sub-criterion anchors | Weighted | Max | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Independent client evidence | 3 / 3 / 1 | 6.8 | 14 | Analyst equivalence applied and confirmed: Everest Group CXM Services PEAK Matrix EMEA, Leader for six consecutive years, one of five Leaders among 35 providers assessed in 2025 E1. The rule is fully grounded here, not inferred from commentary. |
| A2 | Market presence & tenure | 5 / 5 / 5 | 8 | 8 | |
| A3 | Certifications & compliance | 3 / 3 / 1 | 6.4 | 12 | No trust page found. Certificates need a dedicated crawl of the legal/compliance pages. |
| A4 | Delivery stability | 1 / 5 | 3.6 | 6 | 47 reviews for a ~120,000-employee group is a thin, likely HQ-skewed sample; the anchor’s 25-review confidence floor is met and the anchor is applied as written, with sample size stated. |
| A5 | Transparency & verifiability | 3 / 3 | 3 | 5 | Live conflicting boilerplate is a real transparency cost. |
| B1 | Service scope & channels | 5 / 4 / 5 | 7.4 | 8 | |
| B2 | Language & geographic reach | 4 / 5 / 5 | 9.2 | 10 | |
| B3 | Quality management system | 3 / 3 / 4 | 6.6 | 10 | |
| B4 | Security & data protection operations | 3 / 3 / 4 | 5.4 | 8 | |
| B5 | Flexibility & commercial model | 1 / 3 / 1 | 2.2 | 7 | |
| B6 | Technology & AI operations | 4 / 3 / 4 | 5 | 7 | |
| B7 | Vertical expertise | 5 / 4 | 4.6 | 5 |
Axis A subtotal 27.8 of 45 · Axis B subtotal 40.4 of 55 · total 68.2 of 100. Each weighted figure is (anchor score ÷ 5) × sub-criterion weight, summed — the rule printed in the appendix.
Flags and open questions
- Analyst-equivalence question settled: Everest CXM PEAK Matrix EMEA names Konecta as a Leader, six consecutive years. A2.3 holds at 5 and A1 equivalence is grounded.
- Certificates and trust page need a dedicated crawl of the legal/compliance pages.
- Largest remaining evidence gap: Employee-side signal (Glassdoor 3.1) and the absence of any independent client-review record
