What Benchmark researchers look for
In the directory's own words, from its official guidance:
“We encourage firms to provide a majority of case highlights that are resolved within the past 12 months.”

“We encourage firms to provide as much detail as possible including on confidential cases/clients … mark any confidential information … in RED.”

“If there is an extreme disparity between the firm's views and a pronounced percentage of the market, we will provide greater weight to the market consensus.”

Common submission mistakes
- Missing matter detail. Each matter should say what happened, the firm's role, who led it, the value or stakes where publishable, the dates and the current status. Gaps here are the most common reason a highlight carries little weight.
- Essay-style highlights. Long narrative paragraphs and claims without evidence are hard for researchers to use. Short, specific, provable facts in the directory's own format read better.
- Confidential material not marked the expected way. Benchmark asks for confidential information to be marked in red; anything unmarked may be treated as publishable.
- Reusing last year's form. Templates are reissued each cycle. Download the current version from the official page rather than editing last year's file.
