Supported
Reasonably consistent evidence relevant to the claim, with limitations clearly stated. This does not mean guaranteed results.
Two questions, never one
Does the idea workâand is this product worth buying?
A product can be beautifully made while advertising benefits that have not been established. A promising wellness practice can also be delivered through a poorly supported or overpriced device. Aura reports both judgments separately.
Scoring framework
Five dimensions, with evidence first.
| Dimension | Weight | What Aura examines |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence & claim integrity | 30% | Systematic reviews, controlled trials, relevant populations, meaningful outcomes, consistency, conflicts, and whether the company’s exact claim matches the research. |
| Safety & transparency | 20% | Known risks, contraindications, warnings, regulatory status, certifications, testing methods, recalls, and how openly limitations are communicated. |
| Build & specification verification | 20% | Materials, performance specifications, independent test documentation, electrical requirements, warranty, repairability, returns, and customer support. |
| Real-life usefulness | 15% | Setup, comfort, cleaning, storage, time commitment, accessibility, likelihood of consistent use, and owner feedback patterns. |
| Value & ownership cost | 15% | Purchase price, delivery, installation, accessories, energy, maintenance, expected life, resale, and less expensive alternatives. |
Evidence language
What Aura’s words mean.
Promising
Early or mixed research suggests potential, but larger, better, or more directly relevant studies are needed.
Not established
A persuasive claim that is unsupported, indirectly supported, contradicted, or too uncertain to justify a confident conclusion.
Testing status
We label what we actually know.
Personally testedAura used the specific product and states the duration, conditions, and limits of that experience.
Independently researchedAura reviewed evidence, specifications, policies, and owner patterns but did not personally use the product.
Manufacturer informationA claim or specification comes from the seller and has not been independently verified.
Sample or affiliate relationshipFree products, discounts, compensation, and potential commissions are disclosed clearly near the recommendation.
Affiliate revenue never buys an Aura verdict.
Aura may eventually earn commissions from selected links. A company cannot purchase a ranking, remove a material limitation, preview an independent conclusion in exchange for influence, or prevent Aura from recommending a non-affiliate alternative.
