Scoring methodology
Every score on this site is computed from documented evidence - the external reviews, owner voices, compatibility entries and verified specs on file for each product. Unknown never counts as positive: a dimension without evidence is empty and drops out of the weighted total.
The base
The external reviewer consensus (mean of the professional review scores on file) anchors every dimension. Without consensus, a neutral category baseline of 5.0 applies only when a product has dimension-specific evidence; with neither, that dimension stays empty and drops out of the weighted total.
Owner voices
Owner-voice sentiment (positive minus negative across all collected voices, scaled to at most ±0.8) shifts every dimension that has other evidence.
Value
Value is a pure price percentile inside the product's category: the cheapest product scores 10.0, the priciest 4.0. Without a published price there is no value score.

The total
The total is the weighted mean of the seven dimensions with the per-category weights shown on each board. Dimensions without evidence are excluded and the remaining weights renormalise - a product is never rewarded for missing data.
What does not influence scores
Affiliate relationships (we currently have none), brand size, marketing claims that no source confirms, and age of the product by itself. Red-flagged products never receive a recommendation rank regardless of their score.
