Criteria without a verified fact are left out and the remaining weights are scaled up, so a lower number means the score rests on fewer facts.How it's calculated | EvidenceHow strong the sources behind the verified facts are. Strong: mostly the vendor's own documentation. Moderate: more facts from other official pages or third-party sources. Limited: many facts rest on vendor marketing claims.How it's calculated |
