Scorecard — Bench 1.0
6.1 [AGENT] agent-researched; turns green with user + third-party verification (rules)
| TASTE | 5.0 | Ungraded grass-finished ribeye with no aging or breed program; 'perfect marbling' is unverified marketing copy; grass-finished beef typically runs leaner/less marbled than grain-finished graded competitors. | |
| HEALTHY | 6.5 | Self-claimed 100% grass-fed & grass-finished, pasture-for-life, no antibiotics/hormones/GMOs (product page + blog); FAQ candidly admits not certified organic; zero third-party certs, so all claims rest on company word. | |
| COST | 8.0 | $129/6.5 lb and $159/~12 lb boxes with free shipping = ~$13-20/lb blended incl. ribeye, well under the $25-45/lb D2C ribeye band; docked because per-cut pricing is opaque (ribeye price subscription-gated, product JSON shows $0.00). | |
| HAPPY | 6.0 | 'Cattle spend their ENTIRE lives in the pasture... never in a confinement building'; small family farms named publicly (e.g., Mannix Family Ranch); but no welfare certification of any kind (no GAP/Certified Humane/AGA/AWA). | |
| TEXTURE | 4.8 | Hand-cut ~10 oz boneless ribeye shipped frozen; no dry- or wet-aging stated and no marbling grade; grass-finished cattle tend toward firmer, leaner texture than grain-finished prime/wagyu rivals. |
