Reviews Methodology
How ClawScore works
Version reviews-v1. Editorial scores are evidence-bound; Users' Scores are moderated community ratings.
/ClawScore
ClawScore is a weighted average on a 0-100 scale: round(sum(score x weight) / sum(weight)).
A criterion counts only when it has at least one bound receipt. Criteria without receipts render as Analysis and are excluded from the calculation. A review with only Analysis rows cannot publish.
/Criteria
- Capability
- Reliability
- Setup & DX
- Safety & Control
- Cost Efficiency
- Docs & Support
- Momentum
Each criterion may carry a weight from 0.5 to 2.0. At launch, weights are editorial and must be visible in the review row.
/Bands
- Exceptional
- 90-100
- Strong
- 75-89
- Solid
- 60-74
- Mixed
- 40-59
- Avoid
- 0-39
/Users' Score
Signed-in readers rate on the native 1-10 scale. The public Users' Score displays the approved mean on the /100 scale so it can sit beside ClawScore.
Users' Score renders only after 5 approved ratings. Below that threshold, reviews can still be submitted, queued, and moderated.
/Moderation
- Scores are not for sale.
- No fake reviews are seeded or manufactured.
- Unsupported editorial criteria stay visible as Analysis and do not move ClawScore.
- Public user reviews render only after moderation approval.
/Changelog
reviews-v1: launch methodology. Any future weighting change, user-score weighting, or moderation threshold change will be recorded here before it affects published pages.
