Fit before features

Review cadence: Reviewed when tool logic, category assumptions, or major vendor positioning changes.

Scoring methodology
How this engine scores fit
This tool looks across a few high-signal dimensions:
- Lean for cleaner macros and calorie-aware choices.
- Digestion for people who need smoother day-to-day use.
- Plant for dairy-free routines.
- Value for buyers optimizing ongoing affordability.
- Quality for ingredient trust and premium compliance.
- Balance for everyday buyers who need a practical middle ground.
