TTDNA values are analytical 0 scores derived from official specifications, construction and verified category data. They are never official SANWEI ratings and are never shown as manufacturer values.

TTDNA ratings are normalized comparison values, not laboratory measurements. They are built from published specifications, technical sources and structured product evidence, converted to one 0–100 scale. Where a directly comparable measurement is unavailable, the value is an evidence-based estimate. Overall-style scores are composites of several characteristics. Methodology
