Our framework
The Frogwise Standard
Most review sites tell you what to buy. We would rather tell you why — and let you disagree with us. Every product and business we assess is scored out of ten across the same seven criteria, with the reasoning published alongside the number.
01
Santé
Materials, emissions and exposure risk in everyday use — including what happens as a thing ages.
02
Impact environnemental
Raw materials, production, transport, and what happens at end of life.
03
Durabilité
How long it lasts under normal use, and under careless use with children in the house.
04
Réparabilité
Availability of spare parts, published documentation, and whether repair is realistic.
05
Éthique
Conditions de travail et traitement des personnes tout au long de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
06
Transparence
What the maker publishes, what is independently verified, and what stays unanswered.
07
Rapport qualité-prix
Coût mesuré par rapport à la durée de vie prévue, et non au prix d'affichage.
What a score is not
A score is not a certification, and it is not permanent. Assessments carry the date they were made and are revisited as materials, ownership and evidence change. Where we cannot verify something, the criterion is left unassessed rather than guessed.
