The Frogwise Standard

Most review sites tell you what to buy. Very few tell you why, or what they weighed against what.

The Frogwise Standard is our attempt to make that reasoning visible. Every product and every business we assess is scored across seven criteria, each from 0 to 10.

Здраве

What the thing is made from, what it emits, and what is known about exposure over time. We favour materials with published emissions testing.

Въздействие върху околната среда

Raw materials, manufacturing energy, transport, and end of life. We look for measured data, not intentions.

Дълготрайност

How long it stays useful in ordinary family conditions. Warranty length is evidence, not proof.

Възможност за ремонт

Are spare parts sold? Can it be opened without destroying it? Is there documentation?

Ethics

Labour conditions, supplier relationships, and how a company behaves when nobody is watching.

Transparency

How much a company publishes without being asked. Silence scores badly.

Value for money

Cost across the expected life of the thing, not the price on the shelf.

We publish the score, the notes behind it, and the sources. When we are unsure, we say so. When we get it wrong, we correct it and date the correction.
