From product to public record

Six steps between a claim and its proof.

Six controlled steps separate evidence, decision and commercial use. We select the product, the rule engine decides, and a licence — where one exists at all — never enters the score.

  1. 01

    Select the product

    We pick products that matter in a European category — usually the ones buyers actually encounter. Manufacturers may also submit a product, which changes nothing about the rules.

    Identity first
  2. 02

    Check benchmark coverage

    The product must map to an active category benchmark and a documented European price class.

    No benchmark, no score
  3. 03

    Build the evidence file

    Manufacturer pages, datasheets, manuals, regulatory registers and retail listings establish every benchmark-relevant fact, each with a source and a quoted passage.

    Source + excerpt
  4. 04

    Pass the gates

    Price, identity, mandatory features and recall status are checked before scoring.

    Uncertainty stays visible
  5. 05

    Calculate the result

    The versioned engine matches expectations, bonuses and drawbacks, then applies the single threshold at 70.

    No jury discretion
  6. 06

    Publish and monitor

    Products that pass are published with a report and a verification record. Products that fail are not published. Status changes — expiry, suspension, revocation — stay public.
