The weights
| Dimension | Weight | Definition | Data source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detects Rf | 18% | Listed detects rf is a presence check — a yes takes full credit, and a no or absent value scores zero. | Detects Rf |
| Detects Electric Field | 16% | This dimension checks whether detects electric field is listed; yes earns full credit, while no or missing earns zero. | Detects Electric Field |
| Detects Magnetic Field | 14% | The detects magnetic field score is binary: a listed yes earns full marks, while a no or a missing listing earns zero. | Detects Magnetic Field |
| Max Rf Frequency Ghz | 13% | Published listings put max rf frequency ghz between 0 to 10; higher numbers score better, and a missing value stays neutral. | Max Rf Frequency Ghz |
| Tri Axis Magnetic | 12% | This dimension checks whether tri axis magnetic is listed; yes earns full credit, while no or missing earns zero. | Tri Axis Magnetic |
| Data Logging | 11% | Listed data logging is a presence check — a yes takes full credit, and a no or absent value scores zero. | Data Logging |
| Audible Alert | 9% | Where audible alert is listed as yes it earns full credit; a no, or no listing at all, scores zero. | Audible Alert |
| Weight (Lighter Is Better) | 7% | Listed weight runs from 85 g to 420 g in the scored catalog; lower numbers score better, and unlisted values score neutral. | Weight |
| Total | 100% | All dimensions above sum to the full score. | Published score total |

What the score bands mean
Score bands80+ strong60–79 solidBelow 60 limited fit
- 80+: strong marks on the heaviest dimensions with few weak lines in the listed specs.
- 60–79: competitive on most scored inputs, with at least one clearly weaker dimension.
- Below 60: trails this field on the inputs weighted most; the product cards list exactly where.
Source hierarchy
Published manufacturer specifications rank first, dated retailer records second; marketing claims without a checkable figure are excluded from scoring. Missing values never earn invented numbers; they are labeled “not listed - neutral 50” and take the neutral 50 grade the weight definitions describe.
