25%
Transparency
Vendors publish where products are made, how they are sourced, and who runs the company. Hidden formulas and proprietary blends lower the score.
The MeekDeals Trust Score
How trust scores work
Every vendor on MeekDeals is scored from 0 to 100 using five public signals. We don't accept payments to influence the score, and we publish the methodology.
20%
Community feedback
Verified reviews from real buyers, weighted by depth and recency. One-line ratings count less than detailed long-term reports.
25%
Third-party verification
Independent Certificates of Analysis from accredited labs. Identity, purity, and contaminant testing — published per batch, not per product line.
15%
Consistency
Batch-over-batch variance, in-stock reliability, and accurate labeling over time. Trust is not a single test — it's a track record.
15%
Responsiveness
How quickly and openly vendors respond to support requests, recalls, and critical reviews. Silence costs points; clear communication earns them.
Independent
Vendors cannot pay to raise their score.
Public
The full methodology is documented and versioned.
Live
Scores update as new lab reports and reviews come in.
Frequently asked questions
Trust scores, transparency & lab reports
The most common questions about how MeekDeals scores vendors, verifies labs, and stays independent.
A trust score is a 0–100 rating that reflects how transparent, verified, and consistent a vendor is. It's calculated from five public signals — transparency, third-party verification, community feedback, consistency, and responsiveness — and updates as new lab reports and reviews come in.
We weigh five signals: Transparency (25%), Third-party verification (25%), Community feedback (20%), Consistency over time (15%), and Vendor responsiveness (15%). The full methodology is documented and versioned on this page.
No. Trust scores are independent and unpaid. Featured placements are clearly labeled and never affect the underlying score.
Transparency means a vendor publicly discloses where products are made, how they're sourced, who runs the company, and what's in each batch. Hidden formulas, proprietary blends, and undisclosed sourcing all lower the transparency score.
We accept Certificates of Analysis (COAs) from accredited third-party labs covering identity, purity, and contaminant testing. Reports should be tied to a specific batch — not a generic product line — to count toward consistency.
Scores update automatically as new lab reports, verified reviews, and vendor responses are added. There's no fixed schedule — the score reflects the current state of public evidence.
