EVIDENCE LABELS
You should know where every fact comes from.
Physically inspected
Direct evidence from our hands-on professional review in Egypt.
Reference Hub estimate
A professional estimate made by our team, including price-to-cost.
Checked as a shopper
Facts checked through the brand’s public shopping experience.
Declared or third-party evidence
Brand declarations, certificates and outsourced evidence remain clearly labelled.
Lab tested when applicable
Lab testing is optional, not required for the standard score, and is labelled separately when performed.
OUR INDEPENDENCE
The service is paid. The score is earned.
Brands pay Reference Hub for the professional assessment service, website listing and reporting. They never pay for a high score.
The brand decides whether its result is published. Once published, the approved result is not raised or adjusted because of payment, partnership or advertising.
THE SCORE IS CLEAR. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
