What the documentation does not cover
The panel did not find gaps in this product’s public documentation on the checks above.
Where the panel stopped
The panel reviewed public documentation. It did not buy anything, run purchases, or compare real savings. Documentation is not performance: a product may do things it does not publish, and a product that performs well but publishes little will score low here. The Institute considers that a real limit of a documentation-based method and states it on every score.
