About & Methodology
SIloadout ranks AI tools by use case, not by hype. Every tool gets a 0–100 SIloadout Score computed from five sub-scores (1–10):
| Criterion | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Output quality | 35% | Quality of results for this use case |
| Ease of use | 20% | Time-to-first-result, UX, learning curve |
| Value | 20% | Free tier & price vs. capability |
| Community / momentum | 15% | Adoption, ecosystem, update cadence |
| Speed | 10% | Generation/response latency |
Score = Σ(sub-score × weight) × 10.
Current status: all scores are preliminary SIloadout editorial scores assigned from public information and hands-on familiarity. They are not benchmark results. Roadmap: standardized test prompts per category, published test logs, and community ratings blended in at a disclosed weight.
