🧮 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 (100% of sources positive (threshold 80%)).
- 100% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 0.4). Agreement: High.
- How we got there: score 8.2/10, evidence moderate (5 reviews, 5 hands-on).
- Reviews are dated Jul 2026 to Sep 2026.
The arithmetic, for the curious
| Review type | Reviews | Avg value | Total weight | Value × weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strongly positive review | 1 | 8.5 | 1.00 | 8.50 |
| Mildly positive review | 4 | 7.5 | 4.00 | 30.00 |
| All reviews | 5 | 5.00 | 38.50 |
Raw average = 38.50 ÷ 5.00 = 7.7. Consensus adjustment +0.5 gives the final 8.2.
