How Bench's AI tool ratings works.

User guide

The dashboard sorts every tool by composite score. Narrow with the category chips, then click into a tool to see its radar, dimension breakdown and the per-source signals behind each number — every value links back to its citation.

Rating a tool

1. 1
   Sign in with GitHub

   First-time sign-ins create your rater profile automatically — no separate signup.

2. 2
   Open any tool, hit “Rate this tool”

   The button sits in the header of every tool detail page.

3. 3
   Score each dimension — or skip

   Score 1–10, or hit Skip. Skipping is honest data; forcing a guess hurts score quality.

4. 4
   Your weight reflects credibility

   Rating weight is derived from your GitHub profile and ecosystem activity. WWT engineers show a verified-expert badge.

5. 5
   Latest submission wins

   Re-rating supersedes your earlier scores for the same dimension — no duplicate counting.

Comparing & suggesting

Pick up to four tools on the compare page — the fixed axis order means any two radars overlay directly, and the table underneath gives exact per-dimension numbers with confidence. Spot a tool we don't track yet? Suggest it: name, URL and category land in a moderation queue, and once approved the tool appears with no scores until the next ingestion run picks it up.
