A rating tells you what people liked.
FetchScore helps you decide whether you should buy it.
FetchScore
A single 0–100 number that reflects how strongly a product fits real buying decisions in its category.
Scoring differs by category
FetchIt does not apply one universal formula. Each category has its own weighted dimensions, because what makes a great smartphone is different from what makes a great air conditioner.
If FetchIt has no evidence for a dimension, that dimension is left out and the others re-weighted — it is never scored as zero — and the product’s confidence rating drops to reflect the gap. Dimensions markedlong-termget extra weight in your FetchMatch when you plan to keep a product for three years or more.

Brands cannot pay for a higher FetchScore.
FetchScore and FetchVerdict are computed the same way for every brand, every time. Methodology is public, versioned, and never adjusted for advertising or partnership reasons.
