🧮 How We Got This Score
In short: each of the 13 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).
- 54% of reviews lean mixed, and scores are fairly spread out (spread 1.6). Agreement: Low.
- How we got there: score 7.0/10, value signal 3.9/10 from 9 reviews, evidence strong (13 reviews, 13 hands-on).
- Reviews are dated Nov 2024 to Aug 2026.
