CORE STANDARD
A score is an editorial summary—not a guarantee that a product is right for every reader.
Category-specific criteria
Money transfer, grooming and personal training require different evaluation criteria. Weighting follows the decision, not a universal formula.
Evidence quality
Verified, current and decision-relevant evidence carries more weight than unsubstantiated claims or promotional language.
Fit and usability
Scores consider practical use, accessibility, support model and the circumstances in which the product works best.
Limitations and change
Material limitations reduce a score. Time-sensitive changes may trigger a review and score update.
Questions or correction requests
Please identify the relevant page, statement and supporting evidence so the editorial team can review it efficiently.
