Methodology

Layers

Weights are 20 / 30 / 40 / 10 for Find, Door, Tools, and Pay. A layer percentage is points earned divided by points that count. Layers then combine by those weights. A layer with nothing left to score drops out, and the others are renormalized over the weight that remains.

Warn scores 1 point when that check’s max is at least 2, and half the max when the max is under 2. Pay is N/A unless the homepage shows “add to cart”, “buy now”, or “shopping cart”, or a link path contains /cart, or a live rail answers (x402, UCP, ACP, or MPP). The words checkout or SKU alone do not turn Pay on. The Jev Pay shadow is log-only and is not part of the grade. The optional live journey is stored separately and never changes the total.

Grades: A+ at least 95, A at least 86, B at least 70, C at least 48, D at least 28, otherwise F. If the homepage check is a scanner error, the scan is degraded: the total is capped at 47, and the site stays off the public board. If the checks that actually scored cover less than 50 of the layer weight, the total is capped at 69.9, so a thin scan cannot be published as a B or above.

An essentials reading is separate from the public grade. It weights the baseline band at 80 and the recommended band at 20. Bonus checks never reduce it. The figure on a score page is the baselineScore stored with that scan. It is not recomputed when the catalog changes.
