# ScoreMet

> ScoreMet is an independent, reproducible hardware and tool scoring platform based on quantitative metrics ("Score by Metrics"). We evaluate tools across 5 standardized pillars: Performance (30%), Durability (20%), Value (20%), User Satisfaction (20%), and Reliability (10%) using deterministic mathematical normalization.

ScoreMet scores range from 0 to 100. A score of 85+ represents commercial/trade grade excellence, 75-84 indicates high-tier professional/DIY grade, and below 65 indicates notable performance or reliability compromises.
