Computed from the verified facts on each provider card, never set by hand.How it's calculated | CoverageShare of the rating's weight backed by verified facts. 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.
