Scoring version 2.3.1 · Test fixture anchor_upscale_v1
Honesty & reputation · 61/100 · 30%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | 18 / 35 | Allows guests to upload our 512x512 degraded input and automatically runs a 4x upscale to 2048x2048 (01_landing.png, 02_workspace.png); however, the preview canvas overlays a tiled MyEdit watermark and clicking "Download No Watermark" triggers a "Sign in With a CyberLink Account" modal (03_download.png). | Evidence A → |
| Interaction restraint | 17 / 30 | Lets guests upload and wait 7.4s for the 4x upscale preview before gating download behind account login. | Evidence A → |
| Background & reputation | 19 / 20 | Official online AI upscaler by CyberLink Corp. (TWSE: 5203). | Evidence A → |
| Engineering & privacy | 7 / 15 | Generates a 2048x2048 upscaled layer in the cloud and overlays a separate watermark layer (watermark.png) on the client canvas. | Evidence B → |
Capability · 70.2/100 · 70%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task quality | 54.2 / 65 | True 4x upscale from 512x512 to 2048x2048: achieves a top-tier full-frame PSNR of 27.35 dB, SSIM = 0.8882, Edge Correlation = 0.6313, HF Ratio = 0.4783, and Calibration Plate PSNR = 16.22 dB with clean deblocking (54.2/65) | Evidence A → |
| Deliverable specifications | 5 / 20 | Produces a true 2048x2048 (4x) result on the server, but overlays a tiled watermark in guest preview and blocks download behind login (5.0/20) | Evidence A → |
| Processing speed | 11 / 15 | 512x512 to 2048x2048 cloud 4x upscale completes in ~7.40s (11.0/15) | Evidence A → |
Legacy scores may include advertised maximum capabilities. Read tested output separately from paid capabilities. Records without matching tiers and scope are not ranked together.
