How We Score
Supplemetrics uses a deterministic, transparent scoring system. We do not use AI to generate scores. Every score is calculated based on hard data points: ingredient dosages, chemical forms, and price.
Match Score (0-100%)
The Match Score represents how well a product fits your search intent or compares to a target product.
- Ingredient Overlap: Do the products share the same active ingredients?
- Dosage Similarity: Is the dosage comparable (within 20%)?
- Goal Alignment: Does the product contain ingredients proven to support the target goal?
Value Score (0-100)
The Value Score is a calculated metric of "Cost per Effective Dose".
- Price Analysis: We calculate the price per gram of active ingredients, not just price per serving.
- Bioavailability Adjustment: Cheaper forms of ingredients (e.g., Magnesium Oxide) are penalized compared to bioavailable forms (e.g., Magnesium Glycinate).
- Transparency Penalty: Products using "Proprietary Blends" receive a significant score deduction because dosages cannot be verified.
Confidence Level
Indicates the completeness of the data we have for a product.
- High: Complete label data, third-party testing available.
- Medium: Label data available, some minor details missing.
- Low: Incomplete data or significant proprietary blends.
