Scoring

Applies to the Jul 11, 2026 refresh

This table exists because commerce design shopping is usually done on portfolio aesthetics, and portfolios do not correlate with checkout completion. Scores here start from attributable results.

The axes are fixed and published: conversion evidence (weighted highest), mobile execution, AI production capability, engagement shape. Inputs are public case studies, client announcements and category research - Baymard Institute for benchmarks - with vendor-reported figures always tagged. The scorers work in commerce product design and have crossed paths professionally with firms in this table; fixed axes and linked sources are the control for that.

Refreshes run monthly. The refresh date moves only on substantive change - a new result, a reorder, a new entrant.
