2.2 The Scoring Model

2.2 The Scoring Model

Each of the four pillars is assigned a specific weighting to reflect its importance in the final composite score. The weightings are as follows:

• Trust & Transparency: 35%

• Data Depth: 30%

• User Experience (UX): 25%

• X-Factor: 10%

The intentional skew towards Trust and Data Depth reflects our core philosophy: credibility and substantive analysis are the most critical components of a valuable review platform.

Each pillar is composed of several discrete metrics, which are scored individually before being aggregated into the pillar score. The final TDUX score is calculated using the following formula:

Final Score = (Pillar_I_Score * 0.35) + (Pillar_II_Score * 0.30) + (Pillar_III_Score * 0.25) + (Pillar_IV_Score * 0.10)
