Product Integrity Score — Research Hub

Know what's
really in your cart

Evidence-based scoring across consumer product categories — combining environmental impact, labor practices, chemical safety, pricing fairness, and supply-chain transparency.

Five independent pillars — no composite score

🌱 Planet

Environmental footprint — sourcing, land use, packaging, and emissions.

🤝 People & Supply Chain

Labor conditions and whether the origin of materials is actually disclosed.

Quality

Durability and ingredient integrity — does it hold up to how it's marketed.

💰 Value

Pricing fairness and who actually owns the brand behind the label.

🔍 Transparency

Whether the claims on the package are backed by verifiable evidence.

Each pillar is scored and shown on its own — a product that excels on Planet but fails on People & Supply Chain shows both, instead of averaging into one number that hides the tradeoff.

The five pillars stay constant across categories, but the indicators behind each one don't — so each pillar's rating method is tailored per product category rather than applied as one fixed checklist:

Three-tier confidence

Every score carries a confidence level: High (independently verified), Medium (brand claim + evidence), or Low (inferred). No score without a source.

Five pillar architecture

Planet · People & Supply Chain · Quality · Value · Transparency. Each pillar stands alone — no misleading composite that lets one strength hide a failure.
