Tonight, I’m introducing a new gizmo to accompany KBLog’s food product reviews and add an element of objective legitimacy to our otherwise fanciful whims and opinions.

Without further ado, the Kosher Blog Product Scoresheet:

The Kosher Blog Product Score Sheet

Each category is graded on a 4-point scale.

Taste: This one’s the most obvious, how does it taste?
Presentation: Is the product visually appealing? Is the packaging stylish? Does the product look like the picture on the box?
Value: How well does the product justify its price?
K-Factor™: This one sums up the product’s originality, whether it fills a unique void in the market, and any unusual prestige not awarded by the previous categories.

What are the maximum possible scores in each category?

Just under the picture there lies your answer: 4 points each.

How about a standard scheme for what the numbers mean too? I propose that the system be skewed toward the center, with a 2 or 3 being the average. Here’s a typical 0-4 scale, slightly modified from one that we use at work:

0 — Significantly below average
1 — Below Average
2 — Average
3 — Above Average
4 — Significantly above average

Of course, this has the consequence of scores looking low when they’re actually pretty good. For example, 2.5 across the board is slightly above average (so pretty good), but only sounds like just over half the available points. At the same time, though, it means a heck of a lot more when a product gets a 4 or a 0.

What do you think?
