How this ranking is built

Component	Weight	Basis
Value	40%	Cost per gram of protein, ranked against the category
Formula	35%	Protein per calorie, sugar alcohol load, spiking signals, third-party certification
Consensus	25%	Buyer rating from the brand’s own storefront or its retail listing (source-linked), minimum 25 reviews, count and source printed on every product page

A missing component is never scored as zero. Its weight is redistributed across the components that exist, and the page says which one was omitted.
