What stands behind a verdict

Every answer is itemised.

This index publishes a decision on 2,706 products. Receipts are what backs each one: whether the price was read off the official pricing page, how many sources the assessment cited, whether somebody has already shipped an open-source build of it, and whether repeated runs landed on the same answer.

An open-source build and cited sources count double. Software someone has already written and published is stronger evidence than a run agreeing with itself - that is reproducibility, not proof. The column adds the four up and prints the total as one word.
