Scorecard — Bench 1.0
6.9 [AGENT] agent-researched; turns green with user + third-party verification (rules)
| TASTE | 9.0 | USDA Prime G1 Black Angus core aged 15d dry + 30d+ wet; 45-65d dry-aged program; wagyu bench to BMS 8-9 and A5 Miyazakigyu — grade, marbling, aging and breed depth all top-band. | |
| HEALTHY | 5.5 | No organic or welfare certs; no-added-hormones and therapeutic-only-antibiotics claims live in blog posts, uncertified; does offer a 100% grass-fed & finished line and names sourcing regions. Decent disclosure, zero verification. | |
| COST | 6.5 | Entry G1 Choice ribeye ~$26/lb sits at the bottom of the $25-45 D2C band (strong value); Prime ~$55-60/lb and wagyu $68-190/lb are premium; shipping $10-75 unless $150 (FL) / $250-300 free-ship thresholds met. | |
| HAPPY | 4.5 | 'Ethically raised', small-farm, 'space to graze, open environments' language only; no GAP/Certified Humane/AWA/AGA audit; core line is conventional grain-finished Midwest Angus. | |
| TEXTURE | 8.8 | 30d+ minimum aging across lines (15d dry + 30d+ wet on Prime ribeye), 45-65d dry-aged options, and marbling up to BMS 8-9/A5 support high tenderness; ships chilled in insulated box with ice packs. |
