2. Rising Star Boost: Lucid gets +2 (new firm with high ratings)
3. Score Each Question: Add/subtract points based on answers
4. Apply Dealbreakers: Eliminate firms matching hard dealbreakers
5. Sort Results: By score DESC, Trustpilot DESC as tiebreaker
6. Calculate Match Strength: Capped at 95%
7. Return Top 3: Plus eliminated firms with reasons
