How this ranking is built

Component	Weight	Basis
Value	40%	Cost per gram of essential amino acids, ranked against the category — counting the nine essential aminos and nothing else, so a tub padded with glutamine, taurine or coconut water answers on the aminos you are actually buying. The BCAAs are three of the nine, so a BCAA and a full EAA formula are priced on the same denominator
Dose integrity	25%	Share of key actives meeting clinical thresholds, minus a blend penalty
Label disclosure	20%	Share of the actives the label puts a number against. An amount hidden in a proprietary blend, or simply not stated, scores zero here rather than counting as missing data — non-disclosure is a fact about a label, not an absence of one
Consensus	15%	Buyer rating shown on the brand’s own product page (read from the page, or from the review service that draws its stars; source-linked), minimum 25 reviews, re-read within the last 30 days, count, source and capture date printed on every product page

A missing component is never scored as zero. Its weight is redistributed across the components that exist, and the page says which one was omitted.
