Company rating

A company scored on fifteen scientific dimensions plus claim integrity, in three layers.

The layers are Popper, execution and breadth. The Popper layer judges the science the company stands on: premise plausibility, explanatory power, falsifiability and ambition. The execution layer judges what the company does with it: implementation fidelity, results alignment, publication quality, independent replication, context validity, pipeline quality and reliability. The breadth layer covers media reach, scandal integrity, publicity and collaborativity. Claim integrity is the sixteenth spoke and acts as a cap on the whole score.

Why the site rates companies at all, in its own words: the field is full of promises, and promises are not enough; the goal is not to crown favourites but to make the field easier to understand. A company that only repackages well-known science does not belong in the rating and is moved to the disqualified section.
