🧮 How We Got This Score
In short: each of the 4 reviews is turned into a 0 to 10 number, stronger evidence counts for more, and the numbers are averaged.
- 0 reviews gave their own numeric score, and those count extra. The others are scored from their overall tone.
- First impressions and reviews without hands-on testing count less.
- If 80%+ of reviews lean the same way, the score moves by 0.5. This time: 0 (no direction reached 80% agreement).
- 75% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 1.3). Agreement: Moderate.
- How we got there: score 7.4/10, value signal 3.0/10 from 2 reviews, evidence moderate (4 reviews, 4 hands-on).
- Reviews are dated Nov 2024 to Sep 2026.
