🧮 How We Got This Score
In short: each of the 8 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: +0.5 (88% of sources positive (threshold 80%)).
- 88% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 1.1). Agreement: High.
- How we got there: score 8.5/10, value signal 7.0/10 from 4 reviews, evidence moderate (8 reviews, 0 hands-on).
- Reviews are dated May 2025 to Sep 2026.
The arithmetic, for the curious
| Review type | Reviews | Avg value | Total weight | Value × weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strongly positive review | 5 | 8.5 | 4.70 | 39.95 |
| Mildly positive review | 2 | 7.5 | 2.00 | 15.00 |
| Mixed review | 1 | 5.0 | 0.50 | 2.50 |
| All reviews | 8 | 7.20 | 57.45 |
Raw average = 57.45 ÷ 7.20 = 8.0. Consensus adjustment +0.5 gives the final 8.5.
