Methodology

Three separate indicators

Technology Score, Momentum and Evidence Confidence are published separately and are never collapsed into a single number.

A vendor claim is evidence that the vendor made the claim — not independent proof.

Publication gate

A Technology Score publishes only when at least four scored dimensions are supported by Level 3+ evidence, including Market Adoption or Customer Evidence. Otherwise the profile shows Score Pending.

Developing and Early profiles may publish while the score remains Score Pending. Scores are versioned by methodology and as-of date; changing a score creates a new record rather than overwriting the old one.

Commercial independence

Advertising, sponsorship, enhanced profiles and corrections have no effect on any score. There is no path from commercial activity into score calculation.
