Notes and how “top‑rated” is measured

• Different rankings use different criteria (consumer popularity/surveys, industry awards, financial strength or market share). I cited award announcements and national consumer awards above; these are commonly used indicators of reputation and performance. (ceylontoday.lk)
• If you want rankings by a specific metric (e.g., market share, claims settlement ratios, solvency / risk‑based capital, or independent credit/financial ratings), tell me which metric and I’ll pull the latest figures and ranked lists.
