11:FS Pulse Ratings
Below you’ll find the 11:FS ratings breakdown for utility, usability, and visual design. These ratings are applied by our team of researchers, who (god love them) have spent the past year watching literally thousands of user journeys.
These three metrics are combined to form the overall rating for each score with the following weighting: utility (40%), usability (40%), visual design (20%). This weighting has been chosen to reflect the greater importance of utility and usability over visual design.
