Niche-specific methodology

The model is deliberately simple enough to audit and recompute from the current AffiliateDataset API fields.

Marketing software is frequently subscription-based and naturally demonstrated inside real campaigns. The model prioritizes recurring economics while retaining meaningful weight for evidence and sufficient attribution time.

Editorial independence. AffiliateDataset supplies normalized facts and verification metadata; Marketing Affiliates independently defines the weights, analysis, and conclusions. No provider can buy a ranking.

What the score does not mean. The score does not measure deliverability, attribution accuracy, support quality, or client retention. Validate each tool inside a real workflow before recommending it.

Each input is normalized to 0–1. Confidence uses AffiliateDataset’s evidence score; recurring is yes/no; commission caps at 100%; lifetime cookies score as the 365-day maximum. Missing fields receive zero rather than an invented estimate. Ties break on evidence confidence, then name.
