Core signals deployed beyond platform basics. The gap to Advanced is closable with 1–2 focused capability additions.
Scores are computed across five capability domains (100 points, 14 sub-signals) by direct audit of the brand’s public storefront in June 2026. The four population tiers are derived by Fisher–Jenks natural-breaks optimisation over all 8,252 audited brands; Pioneer is a fixed benchmark requiring 55+ points across all five domains, unreached by any audited brand. Full methodology, weights, and conflict-of-interest disclosure: varai.com/global_eyewear_report.
