How this score is built

The composite is a transparent weighted average of the dimensions above. The ranked party cannot pay to change it. Subjective dimensions are tagged so you always know what is judgment and what is measured. Scores and the notes shown are PROOF's opinion based on aggregated data and verified brand-submitted reviews, not statements of fact about the company.
