How FRAME ME reads a coat

FRAME ME evaluates publicly disclosed product characteristics. In this MVP, the only source is a local illustrative dataset marked DEMO DATA. Material composition alone does not establish overall product quality. We do not claim to independently test products unless testing has actually been performed. No coat in this release has been tested.

Fact, calculation, interpretation, unknown

A fact is a field present in the profile, such as a price or a fiber percentage. A calculation is arithmetic on those fields, such as a euro difference or a gap in percentage points. An interpretation is a cautious reading, such as the idea that brand positioning can affect price. An unknown stays unknown. Missing data is never filled in.

Transparency score

The transparency score is documentation completeness, from 0 to 100. Five fields are worth 20 points each: a complete outer composition (percentages that sum to 100), a named lining, a country of manufacture, care instructions, and fabric weight. A coat with those first four fields and no fabric weight scores 80/100. Construction notes are displayed and are not part of the number. A missing field is not evidence of poor quality.

What is not scored

There is no overall quality score. There is no claim about profit margin, manufacturing cost, or how much of a price is the label. Polyester is not treated as poor quality. Cashmere is not treated as high quality. Winter performance is described only when composition and fabric weight are both disclosed, and even then it is not a thermal test. Otherwise the page says winter performance cannot be reliably determined from available product data.

Comparisons and alternatives

Price difference is the gap in euros. The percentage price difference is that gap divided by the higher price. Wool and cashmere differences are percentage points: 90% minus 60% is 30 percentage points, not a 50% increase. Smart alternatives are deterministic matches on length, cut, color, fiber share, and a lower price. A cheaper coat is not described as superior.

Documented material value

The catalog sort “Best documented material value” ranks coats by animal-fiber percentage points per euro. Animal fibers counted are wool, cashmere, alpaca, and mohair. The sort needs a complete composition. It is a way to order the table. It is not a value-for-money verdict.

No affiliate link is present in this dataset. If commercial relationships are added later, they will be disclosed, and they will not change these calculations.
