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.
10 claims on this sheet, by grade: E1 1 E2 1 E3 9 E5 3 Counts sum above 10 because 4 claims cite more than one grade.
- HQ conflict resolved in favour of Highland Park, Michigan: "13700 Oakland Avenue, Highland Park, MI 48203" is stated identically on the About Us page, the Contact Us page as corporate headquarters, and the Locations page. Highland Heights, Kentucky appears nowhere on the current site and is treated as a stale third-party directory entry, most likely a former corporate office. The conflict is recorded rather than eliminated, because no independent registry source was reachable to confirm the current registered address qualfon.com contact us, checked Aug 2026 E3E5
- Founded 1995 in Mexico City by Alfonso Gonzalez; Alfonso J. Gonzalez was named Chief Executive Officer on 14 Jul 2026. The legal entity is identified in the privacy policy as Qualfon Data Services Group, LLC qualfon.com about us, checked Aug 2026 E3
- Scale is stated once, on the provider’s own site, as a "12,000-person global business", with no independent corroboration reachable. The Clutch listing for the company describes it instead as a 10–49 employee firm based in Mexico City — an uncorrected third-party contradiction qualfon.com about us, checked Aug 2026 E3
- Thirteen delivery sites are published with full street addresses — Highland Park MI, Casselberry/Orlando FL, Oklahoma City OK, Harlingen TX, Johnstown PA, Montreal, Heredia (Costa Rica), Providence (Guyana), Mexico City, Manila, Dumaguete, Cebu and Cagayan de Oro (Philippines) and Gurugram, Bhopal and West Bengal (India). Dhaka, Casablanca and Colombo are separately asterisked as "CX Partnership Locations", not owned delivery qualfon.com locations, checked Aug 2026 E3
- Internal conflict on delivery countries: the About Us page lists Colombia among countries of operation, but Colombia appears nowhere on the Locations page, which instead adds Canada. The site also claims "40+ years in regulated industries" against a stated 1995 founding, which is 31 years qualfon.com locations, checked Aug 2026 E3
- Employer rating 3.2/5 across 1,948 Indeed reviews, with pay and benefits and job security and advancement lowest at 2.9 — in direct tension with the homepage claim that "associate attrition runs 30 to 50 percent below industry average", which carries no source, no measurement basis and no date Indeed, checked Aug 2026 E2E3
- No independent client evidence exists on any platform: the Clutch profile is unclaimed and carries zero reviews, and no G2 product profile is reachable. No coverage by Everest Group, ISG, NelsonHall, Gartner, Avasant or Frost appears in the company’s own news and awards listing or anywhere else reachable Clutch profile, checked Aug 2026 E5
- Six case studies are published in total, every one with an anonymous client and no date. Quantified outcomes include a 36% AHT reduction for a cybersecurity software provider, 160% customer retention improvement for a major telecom, and conversion growth from 1.4% to 8.1% in 30 days qualfon.com case studies, checked Aug 2026 E3
- The only certification claims on the entire site are "AICPA SOC Certified" and "PCI DSS Compliant" badges on the Insurance industry sub-page. There is no trust, security or compliance page, no certificate number, issuing body, report type (SOC 2 Type I versus II), validity date or scope, and no ISO 27001, HITRUST or COPC claim anywhere.

- Third-party recognition is workplace-side only: Great Place to Work Certified in the Philippines for a fourth consecutive year (13 Jan 2026), Qualfon Mexico ranked second among companies under 500 employees as a Top Company for Women by Expansión/TOP Companies (13 Oct 2025), the Learning & Development team in the top ten of the community-voted 2025 OnCon Icon Awards, and a new Bhopal, India site launched 23 Jul 2025 qualfon.com news and awards, checked Aug 2026 E1E3
Where this provider stands out
Computed from this provider’s anchor scores against the 29-provider field it is scored in, from the 10 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
No sub-criterion sits above the field median — on 10 public claims. That is a statement about the published record, not about the service.
Furthest below the field
- review substance A1.2 0/5 — 3 below the field median of 3; joint lowest, with 1 of 28 others
- information security A3.1 1/5 — 2 below the field median of 3
- review volume & recency A1.1 1/5 — 2 below the field median of 3; joint lowest, with 1 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 | 1 / 0 / 0 | |||
| A2 | Market presence & tenure | 5 / 3 / 3 | |||
| A3 | Certifications & compliance | 1 / 1 / 1 | |||
| A4 | Delivery stability | 1 / 3 | |||
| A5 | Transparency & verifiability | 1 / 2 | |||
| B1 | Service scope & channels | 3 / 2 / 3 | |||
| B2 | Language & geographic reach | 1 / 3 / 3 | |||
| B3 | Quality management system | 3 / 1 / 3 | |||
| B4 | Security & data protection operations | 1 / 1 / 3 | |||
| B5 | Flexibility & commercial model | 1 / 1 / 0 | |||

Axis A subtotal 12.8 of 45 · Axis B subtotal 24 of 55 · total 36.8 of 100. Each weighted figure is (anchor score ÷ 5) × sub-criterion weight, summed — the rule printed in the appendix.
Flags and open questions
- Largest remaining evidence gap: no independent evidence of any kind — no analyst coverage, no reviews, no named client
Challenge this sheet
Every line above is meant to be checkable. If a datapoint is wrong, out of date, or missing a certificate identifier we could not find, the corrections process is open: submit the evidence and the score is re-derived through the anchors. Facts are correctable; scores follow facts.
