How we reach verdicts

Our verdict process is deterministic: each head-to-head scores both models on the same published specifications, weights fixed per category, and the winner is the higher total - never a subjective preference. Where a specification is UNKNOWN in the evidence database, it scores zero for both models rather than being guessed. See How We Compare for the full method.
