### How Fig For You ranks

1. **Normalize the catalog.** Each product is stored with normalized specifications (connectivity, sensor, layout, size and more), so models are compared field by field.
2. **Score against your answers.** A weighted multi-criteria score (seven signals) matches specs to your use case, operating system and budget. The same answers always return the same picks.
3. **Show prices only when verified.** Marketplace links appear only for offers with verified provenance and stock. A price older than 24 hours is hidden, and the pick falls back to spec-only ranking.
