Review criteria & scoring
See weighted criteria for devices, business systems and learning resources, with evidence requirements and transparent scoring.
Framework version 1.1 · 17 October 2026. Admin uses category-specific criteria. A documentation profile or proposed worksheet is not a hands-on review. These are editorial frameworks, not ratings already awarded to products.

Calculate only from evidence
Rate an evidenced criterion from 1 to 5 against stated use-case benchmarks: 1 poor, 2 limited, 3 adequate, 4 strong, 5 excellent. Overall score out of 100 = sum of each applicable percentage weight multiplied by its rating divided by five. Example only: a 20% criterion rated 4 contributes 16 points. This example is not a product score.
Publish no overall score until every required applicable criterion has sufficient evidence. Missing evidence is Not assessed, not zero. A genuine Not applicable decision needs a reason; show the original and renormalised weights, retain a 100% applicable total and do not compare results from different frameworks as equivalent.
Recommendation gates
A critical unresolved failure in security, safety, essential compatibility or the primary task blocks a recommendation even if a numerical total is high. Explain the consequence and uncertainty. Sponsorship and affiliate relationships do not change editorial scoring.
Required assessment record
State the use case, exact model and region, software, framework version, evidence type, source dates, test conditions, per-criterion evidence, limitations and revision history. Manufacturer specifications establish stated features; they do not establish measured performance.
Responsible publication
Admin is the public editorial identity. Scores are withheld where evidence is incomplete. No independent laboratory, named writer or professional credential is implied. Send corrections with the page URL and supporting source to komnsol@gmail.com.
