New AI tools on their first run, scored on early form.
Early form is based on public docs and launch info; we rescore after about four weeks of real use.
Same seven-part, 100-point rubric as the main guide. Because these tools are new, every score is tagged early form and limited data, and shows the date we reviewed it from docs. We rescore each one after about four weeks. Then it graduates to the main guide or drops off the card. Affiliate links and sponsorship never feed a score. How we score.
