| ReliabilityTest–retest stability and internal consistency. Would the same person get the same result next month? | 20 | 85 |
| Fairness & adverse impactGroup-difference and adverse-impact data; legal defensibility for selection use (EEOC / equality law). | 20 | 83 |
| Transparency & evidenceIs the technical documentation, norm data and scoring logic openly published and independently auditable? | 15 | 78 |
| Total cost & usabilityAll-in cost including certification, per-report and platform fees — weighed against report quality and ease of use. | 10 | 82 |
