TRIPSCORE LAB / 01
An attractive headline fare is only part of the story. Add the whole trip cost, compare your own price observations, and see what your decision rests on.
◈ Everything is calculated in your browser. Your inputs are not sent away.SIDE BY SIDE
Up to three analyses for this session only. Scores for different services are not a quality ranking.
Price position compares the total with the median of your daily observations. The median earns 50 points; each 1% difference changes the result by 1.5 points, bounded between 0 and 100. This is a planning heuristic, not a market rating or a prediction.
Evidence coverage is separate: it describes the number, date span and freshness of observation days. It is capped at 60 for user inputs and 20 for samples. It is not the probability of a good or available trip.
The checker does not verify provider prices, availability or inclusions. You must enter every relevant cost. Multiple distinct prices on the same day are first combined into a daily median.
