The measured register

Open data · updated daily · free to cite

Every product on RidgeNote as one file: the weight its manufacturer publishes, the list price the manufacturer attests, and where it ranks by weight inside its own category. One row per product, 30 categories, re-read daily.

How the figures are obtained

Weights and prices are read from the manufacturer’s own published listing, never estimated and never crowd-sourced. Where a maker publishes no list price the field is empty rather than zero, because a zero under the words “list price” is a false claim about a price. The full method is on the methodology page, and every figure on a product page carries the URL it came from.
