About Our Trust Scores

We created the McGruff Trust Score as a way to aggregate the opinions of reputable review sites, offering a consensus view in the form of a single score. We take the ratings each site provides and calculate the average score. Our scores range from 1-5, with higher ratings indicating higher scores. We also factor in A-F ratings and convert them to a numbered scale.

How the Rating System Works

This is how we calculate our scores. Once we decide how many points to award each rating, we take the average of the totals and create the trust score.

Trust Score	Rating	Rating	Rating
1	1/5	1-2/10	F
2	2/5	3-4/10	D
3	3/5	4-6/10	C
4	4/5	6-8/10	B
5	5/5	8-10/10	A
