🧮 How We Got This Score
In short: each of the 5 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 (80% of sources positive (threshold 80%)).
- 80% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 1.3). Agreement: High.
- How we got there: score 8.1/10, value signal 5.0/10 from 2 reviews, evidence moderate (5 reviews, 4 hands-on).
- Reviews are dated May 2025 to Dec 2026.
