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.

Salute

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

Impatto ambientale

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

Durabilità

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

Riparabilità

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

Etica

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

Trasparenza

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

Rapporto qualità-prezzo

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.
