The article examines key trends in the development of the Russian appraisal industry in 2023–2024, analyzes problem areas and outlines the points of growth. The author relies on the results of an annual study of the valuation services market, which is conducted by the Rating Center of the Institute for Economic Strategies in order to study the ability of industry companies to adapt to current realities and to identify leaders capable of creating and exploiting high strategic potential. When forming a company profile and constructing a scenario forecast of the company’s strategic potential dynamics, in addition to quantitative indicators, qualitative indicators are analyzed, including the level of the services differentiation, the quality of goal setting, involvement in the activities of professional communities, the company’s attitude to the external environment — from participation in charity programs to attention to details that form the image.

The article examines legal features and consequences of compiling a rating of companies. The situation may arise when a company, included in the rating, is dissatisfied with its position. The business entity believes that it was ranked lower than its competitor, which understates the professional results achieved by the company. In this case, the company may initiate legal proceedings declaring that information in the rating is untrue and discredits its business reputation. The author argues that ratings are an expression of subjective opinion of their compilers and must not impair business reputation.
