# Get a cross-publisher suitability leaderboard

> Returns a paginated, ranked list of podcast publishers by IAB/GARM brand-suitability composition. Pick a metric (safest, riskiest, most_placeable, most_analyzed) to choose how the ranking is constructed. min_analyzed_podcasts guards against tiny catalogs dominating share-based metrics. The ranking reflects each publisher's current catalog composition; paginate the audit history per show via GET /v1/podcasts/{id}/suitability?include=history when you need point-in-time analysis. Each row carries the full tier_breakdown (counts + shares) plus the metric_value the row was ranked by.
