Scorecard — Bench 1.0
5.8 [AGENT] agent-researched; turns green with user + third-party verification (rules)
| TASTE | 7.5 | Real graded range: USDA Choice core, genuine USDA Prime (tomahawk $21.98/lb), Miyazaki A5 ($99.98/lb), American Wagyu, Reserve 28-day-aged; 17-day wet age standard. Frozen-only and a tenderized ungraded value line cap the ceiling. | |
| HEALTHY | 3.0 | Core beef undisclosed on antibiotics/hormones/raising (no claims on Choice/Prime pages or FAQ); JBS supply opacity per Sentient Media. Partial credit: labeled organic ($18.98/lb) and grass-fed-grass-finished options, honest grade labeling. | |
| COST | 9.5 | Choice boneless $15.98/lb, bone-in $14.98/lb, ungraded $13.98/lb, Prime tomahawk $21.98/lb - far below the $25-45/lb D2C band, transparent per-lb pricing, no subscription, $35 delivery minimum. Ding: 4 regional zones up to ~25% higher. | |
| HAPPY | 1.5 | No third-party welfare certs (no GAP/Certified Humane/AGA found); parent JBS is a conventional feedlot packer per Sentient Media. Small Australian grass-fed and organic pasture-raised lines are the only welfare-positive signals. | |
| TEXTURE | 7.0 | 17-day wet aging (FAQ) + Choice-or-better marbling on graded lines; A5/Prime options excellent. Deductions: everything blast-frozen (moisture on thaw), cheapest boneless ribeye is mechanically tenderized, no dry-aged ribeye SKU found. |
