Scorecard — Bench 1.0

4.2 [AGENT] agent-researched; turns green with user + third-party verification (rules)

TASTE6.5███████░░░Grain-finished for marbling, all beef wet-aged 28+ days, plus 60-day dry-aged and American Wagyu-cross ribeye lines; but ungraded — no USDA Prime/Choice floor and marbling unstated, so intake quality is opaque vs graded rivals.
HEALTHY2.5███░░░░░░░Antibiotic and hormone policies undisclosed on FAQ/product pages; no organic cert; 'grass-fed, grain-finished' is self-claimed with no verification; sourcing vague ('finest producers in North America'). Transparency limited to aging/process.
COST3.0███░░░░░░░Cheapest boneless ribeye $53.33/lb list (Classic 4x12oz $159.99); other SKUs $60-83/lb — above the $25-45 D2C band for ungraded beef with undisclosed practices. Perpetual promos can halve prices but list pricing is opaque.
HAPPY1.5██░░░░░░░░No welfare certification (no GAP/Certified Humane/AGA/AWA on site); grain-finished commodity supply with zero pasture, finishing, or supplier transparency; no affirmative welfare claims found at all.
TEXTURE8.0████████░░Best-evidenced axis: ribeyes hold USDA AMS Certified Tender (shear-force tested; company on AMS Verified Operations Registry, rev 2026-04-10); 28+ day aging, 60-day dry-aged option, flash-frozen/vacuum-sealed at carving.
