Tested first, then judged inside its family.
- 1A tester uses it. The quote on every card is from that first-hand test.
- 2Editors judge it on three criteria written for its family, plus evidence, distinctiveness and disclosure.
- 3The verdict comes first. The score out of 5 is the summary, not the point.
