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

TASTE6.0██████░░░░Ungraded; live D2C ribeye is grass-fed, self-described 'amply marbled' yet 'a little leaner than its grain-finished counterpart'; corn-finished 120d Black Angus line exists; Food Network/CNN reviews praise steak flavor.
HEALTHY5.5██████░░░░RWA self-claims on ribeye page ('antibiotic-free', 'no added hormones'), 100% grass-fed ribeye with omega-3/vitamin A claim; but zero third-party certs, ungraded, organic limited to non-ribeye SKUs, no farm-level transparency.
COST7.5████████░░$31.99/lb grass-fed boneless ribeye ($39.99 per 2x10oz) sits in lower third of the $25-45 D2C band; grass-fed NY strip ~$20/lb; free shipping over $200; docked for storewide out-of-stock on 2026-07-12 and thin spec transparency.
HAPPY4.5█████░░░░░'Pastured in large open fields' (Black Angus line per Food Network) and a grass-fed line; welfare assurance is an internal farmer-affidavit program only — no AGA/AWA/GAP/Certified Humane marks found anywhere on the site.
TEXTURE5.5██████░░░░No aging program stated; vacuum-sealed and flash frozen; leaner grass-fed ribeye limits buttery mouthfeel vs prime/wagyu peers, though accredited reviewers (Food Network) found steaks tender and well-marbled.
