🧮 How We Got This Score
In short: each of the 14 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).
- 50% of reviews lean positive, and scores are fairly spread out (spread 2.0). Agreement: Low.
- How we got there: score 6.0/10, value signal 5.0/10 from 3 reviews, evidence strong (14 reviews, 14 hands-on).
- Reviews are dated Oct 2024 to Oct 2026.
