Our methodology · version 1 · October 22, 2026
What our vendor scores mean
Our scores measure how much decision-useful information we found in the official pages reviewed. They do not measure clinical outcomes, service quality, customer satisfaction, regulatory compliance, or return on investment.
A score you can inspect
Each check is worth one point. A dimension score is the proportion of its checks supported by a source, multiplied by five. The overall score uses all checks equally, rather than averaging rounded dimension scores. A low score can reflect limited published information or limited access during our review; it does not establish that a vendor lacks a capability.
Profiles need at least three sourced facts from at least two reviewed official pages before receiving a numerical score. Otherwise they show “Research limited.” We do not fill missing prices with estimates or copy another directory’s ratings.
Pricing clarity
Can a buyer establish the price and billing basis?
- A price or named plan is documented
- The charging basis is described
- Setup or implementation fees are addressed
- Additional charges are addressed
Value assessability
Is there enough information to judge value for a particular practice?
- Plan inclusions are described
- A trial or demo policy is described
- Specific capabilities have supporting sources
- Integration information is documented
Med spa relevance
Evidence of relevance to medical aesthetics, not a clinical endorsement.
- An official med spa or aesthetics page is documented
- Med spa workflows are described
- A relevant customer example is documented
Terms & exit clarity
Can a buyer identify the commitment and exit process?
- Minimum commitment is addressed
- Cancellation or return terms are addressed
- Data export or product-return arrangements are addressed
Support & onboarding
What is documented about getting started and getting help?
- Support channels are identified
- Support availability or response terms are stated
- Onboarding or public documentation is described
Company evidence
How much first-party context supports the profile?
- Leadership or company identity is documented
- A named customer example is documented
- At least three official pages were reviewed
Value needs your own numbers
“Value assessability” measures whether you can evaluate an offer, not whether it is cheap or will pay for itself. Compare the complete cost for your users, locations, hardware, usage, implementation, and exit. Buyer-fit notes and trade-offs are editorial analysis based on cited information, not hands-on testing or a promise of results.
Sources and limitations
Sources are vendor statements, not independent verification of performance. Dates describe our review, not a guarantee that terms remain unchanged. “Not found in reviewed pages” is narrower than “not offered.” Conflicting statements are retained as questions for the vendor. Compliance claims must be confirmed with the actual agreement and your qualified advisers. Rankings compare information coverage; compare vendors within a relevant category and buying brief.
