Scorecard
How it scored, criterion by criterion
Full scorecardEvery criterion, its weight, and the evidence behind it
BluntScore
Score being re-verifiedThis product's criteria are not yet explained, so no overall score is shown.
Not scored for want of documentation (N/A, weights renormalised to 100%): Usability, Packability, Warranty & long-term ownership. Unverified until documented (no score, held out of the mean): Capacity. Unknown evidence is not poor performance: it shows up in Documentation Coverage, never in the BluntScore.
Core Performance
- Capacity (0%)Being re-verified
Evidence: no documented source yet. This metric decides the job for this product type, so it is published as unverified — it carries no score, is held out of the mean, and shows up in Documentation Coverage without lowering the BluntScore.
- Leak resistance (0%)Being re-verified
Scored from documented leak resistance (Shell fabric composition: 100% cotton).
Evidence: Shell fabric composition: 100% cotton — Manufacturer
Usability
- Usability (0%)Being re-verified
Evidence: no documented source yet, so this metric is not scored (N/A) and its weight is redistributed across the documented metrics. Missing documentation shows up in Documentation Coverage, not in the product's score.
Design & Practicality
- Organisation (0%)Being re-verified
Strength on record: Internal built-in pocket aids organization of small items.
Evidence: Interior barrier feature: Waterproof lining with built-in pocket — Manufacturer
- Packability (0%)Being re-verified
Evidence: no documented source yet, so this metric is not scored (N/A) and its weight is redistributed across the documented metrics. Missing documentation shows up in Documentation Coverage, not in the product's score.
Ownership Factors
- Warranty & long-term ownership (0%)Being re-verified
Evidence: no documented source yet, so this metric is not scored (N/A) and its weight is redistributed across the documented metrics. Missing documentation shows up in Documentation Coverage, not in the product's score.
How well this product is documented is reported separately, as Documentation Coverage — measured against what its maker actually publishes. Thin documentation is never read as poor performance and never lowers the BluntScore.

How well documented this is
Documentation Coverage: Not yet established

How we scoreMethod, weights and what N/A means
How we score toiletry & beauty cases
Toiletry organisation — BluntBench v1.0
Every product in this article is scored with this single BluntBench methodology version — criteria are never mixed between categories, and when the methodology changes a new version is published rather than the old one being rewritten.
Each product's score out of 10 is a weighted result, not an impression. These are the criteria and weights used for this category — every pick below shows its per-criterion scores, and their weighted mean is the overall BluntBuys score.
This weighting is specific to toiletry & beauty cases: it uses the Toiletry organisation model, not one generic scorecard. Capacity carries the most weight (22%) because it is what decides whether toiletry & beauty cases do their job at all, followed by leak resistance at 22%. Packability still counts, at 7%, but it rarely changes which option a buyer should pick. A different category is judged with different criteria and different weights, so scores are comparable inside this guide rather than across unrelated product types.
Criteria adapt to the product. A criterion that is not part of what a product does — for example a seal rating on an open bin or a Lazy Susan — is excluded from that product's breakdown and its weight is redistributed, rather than scored as a weakness. Scores therefore compare how well each option suits its intended use case; products of different types are not always direct substitutes for one another.
Every BluntBench answers the same four quality pillars — Job Performance, Product Integrity, User Experience, Ownership & Practicality — but the metrics under them belong to this product type alone. A carry-on is judged on packing efficiency, manoeuvrability and airline compatibility; a robot vacuum on pickup, navigation and dock automation. Metrics that do not apply are never scored.
| Metric | Pillar | How it is scored | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacitycritical | Job Performance | Published measurement | 22% |
| Leak resistancecritical | Job Performance | Published measurement | 22% |
| Usability | User Experience | Graded on documented detail | 21% |
| Organisation | User Experience | Graded on documented detail | 18% |
| Packability | User Experience | Graded on documented detail | 7% |
| Warranty & long-term ownership | Ownership & Practicality | Graded on documented detail | 10% |
| Total | 100% | ||
Metrics marked critical decide whether a product can do its job at all: they must be documented, they are never dropped, and a documented failure on one cannot be offset by strength elsewhere. When a non-critical metric has no published evidence it is either excluded and the remaining weights renormalised to 100%, or scored from weaker sourcing and reported in Documentation Coverage — the score is never inflated to fill the gap.
