Honesty & reputation · 70/100 · 30%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing transparency | 28 / 35 | Top banner clearly discloses "You have 2 free actions left" and "Max file size: 128 MB" before upload; within that quota, guests convert and download the 11.2 KB DOCX directly without a login wall. | Evidence B → |
| Interaction restraint | 20 / 30 | No forced popup at download; page displays a browser-language prompt, Nutrient acquisition notice, and Nudocs AI banner. | Evidence B → |
| Background & reputation | 15 / 20 | Operated by Orpalis (now Nutrient / GdPicture.NET SDK) as the official web showcase for its document SDK. | Evidence B → |
| Engineering & privacy | 7 / 15 | On-page Privacy notice states uploaded files are accessible for up to 30 minutes and can be manually deleted, while explicitly distinguishing free users from "We do not retain files for AvePDF Premium subscribers". | Evidence B → |
Capability · 78.5/100 · 70%
| Criterion | Score | Rationale | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task quality | 48 / 65 | Exported a valid 11,435-byte DOCX (55 paragraphs): 4/4 headings, 12/12 table cell strings, 3/3 body phrases, and the Page 2 marker are 100% preserved, but the 4×4 financial table is flattened into plain paragraphs (native <w:tbl> table_count=0). | Evidence A → |
| Deliverable specifications | 16 / 20 | Guests directly download a valid watermark-free DOCX (11.2 KB) without signing in, subject to the 2-action free quota and lacking native Word table objects. | Evidence A → |
| Processing speed | 14.5 / 15 | 2026-10-21 single-sample network timing: /en/file/upload took 0.76s, and server preparation/conversion (/en/file/prepare-file-for-tool to /en/tools/pdf-to-word-action) took 1.78s (end-to-end 2.54s). | Evidence A → |
