How this ranking is built

Component	Weight	Basis
Value	40%	Cost per gram of protein, ranked against the category
Formula	35%	Protein per calorie, sugar alcohol load, spiking signals
Consensus	25%	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.
