Why this listing
Aligned-service is the long tail of honest practitioners — and the test of the tier is whether the practice survives the company’s success. Dr. Bronner’s has been a family-owned, [[mission-district-sf|mission]]-tight operation through three generations and 75 years, including a period of bankruptcy and recovery, without drifting. Listed here because the structural commitments (pay ratio, ownership, certification stack) are what aligned-service looks like when it lasts.
