Benchmark | Evidence, not a score

What frontier products still need before they can be scored.

Every frontier evidence page says why its product cannot be scored yet. Read together, they point to the same few missing documents, and to the products closest to a score.

What is missing

The same few documents are missing almost everywhere

Each bar counts evidence pages whose own notes name a gap that document would close. Most pages miss more than one, so the bars overlap.

Needing a scope decision2

36 of 38 pages are missing the full warranty terms.

34 of 38 have no certification listing that could be read.

32 of 38 also lack datasheet figures a score needs, such as round-trip efficiency, capacity or electrical ratings.

Across the pages: 36 missing warranty terms, 34 missing a certification listing, 32 missing datasheet figures and 2 needing a scope decision.

Nearest a score

Which products are closest

The pages nearest a score still need 2 separate documents.

For these products the notes name no missing datasheet figure, only the warranty terms and a certification listing: DAS Solar Bifacial Double Glass BC Module (Black Frame), Gokin GBC Module with Single Glass Full-screen Mystic Black, Gokin GK-5-60HG, Hanersun HItouch 5B, Hanersun HItouch 6B and TCL Solar C2 M.

A page moves to a score only when the missing documents are published and read, and the product is then scored like any other. Until then it stays an evidence page.

How this was recorded

Every gap is in the page's own words

Each of the 38 frontier evidence pages says in its own notes why the product cannot be scored yet.

Read against a fixed list of what a score needs, those notes name 148 gaps.

The newest official source behind these pages was read on 2026-09-25.

Each gap is transcribed from the evidence page's notes with a verbatim quote that names it, so this adds nothing the pages do not already say. A page that is re-checked has its gaps read again.
