How We Score

One transparent engine for everything you put in your body

Formulate scores every domain of your health with the same principles — deterministic, evidence-based, and independent. Each domain has its own purpose-built methodology. Three are live today; three more are on the way.

The principles behind every score

Deterministic, not editorial

The same algorithm runs on every item. Two people running it get the same number — scores come from data and published weights, not opinion.

No sponsorships, ever

No brand can pay to be listed, ranked, or featured. Affiliate links may earn a commission on purchases, but they never touch a score.

Evidence-based & versioned

Scores are built on peer-reviewed research and reference data. The evidence base is versioned and re-evaluated as new studies land.

Fully transparent

Every score breaks down into its components — you can always see exactly why something scored what it did.

Frequently asked questions

Do brands pay to be on Formulate?

No. We do not accept payment to list, rank, or feature any product in any domain. We may earn affiliate commissions from qualifying purchases through outbound links, but this never affects scoring — the same algorithm runs on every item.

Why score different domains separately?

A supplement, a food, and your daily nutrient coverage are fundamentally different questions, so each has its own purpose-built methodology. What they share is the philosophy: transparent, evidence-based, and independent.

What's coming next?

Sleep, fitness, and personal care are in development — each will get the same transparent, evidence-based treatment. The framework is already here; we add a pillar when its scoring is rigorous enough to ship.
