Verdict
Good Value
Strong capability relative to what it costs, offset by modest performance for the money.
Why this score?
Value Score compares purchase cost against utility, performance, earning potential, resale value and progression requirements. Each category is scored by its own weighted model and normalised to a 0–100 scale.
The weights above are an example configuration applied to example data. They are not a definitive statement about what anything is worth, and they will be revisited once verified pricing exists. Read the full methodology.
