The five questions we asked

Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.

1“Best suppliers of forgings in New York”
2“Who supplies custom closed-die steel forgings in New York”
3“I need a New York forging partner for a 10,000-piece heavy truck axle component run, who should I talk to”
4“Top forgings suppliers in New York for OEM purchasing buyers”
5“Which New York forging companies can handle near-net-shape alloy steel parts with full traceability”
6“List 20 forgings companies in New York with their specialties.”the roster question

Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
