How evidence affected scoring

Applicable score inputs require claim-linked evidence under the frozen category rubric. Missing or stale evidence is handled by the rubric's predeclared rule; it is never guessed or replaced by a more favorable weight. Evidence coverage and confidence are reported separately from the organic score.

Evidence gaps remain recorded for: Briggs & Stratton, Generac, STIHL.

No source detail requires additional buyer verification in this publication.
