Where it stands in the field
Two different questions, side by side. Performance compares what the hardware can do; Value compares what that capability costs at today’s price. A product can rank high on one and low on the other — that gap is the point.

Balanced has no letter: it is a weighting preset, not a capability rubric. A grade answers “how well does this handle that job?” — price is never part of it. Relative Value puts the current market price back in.

Works well if
- Workstation is your main prioritygraded A for Workstation on the same rubric as the tier list
Consider other options if
- You want strong value for Workstation specificallyat today's market no realistic price for this model reaches strong value for Workstation — the calculation only gets there near CAD 180, against a cheapest tracked CAD 370

For the selected scenario this is not a strong fit — the grade above is the reason, and the models below suit it better.
Works well if
- Small-Case Fit is not actually your main job — Gaming Build isit grades D for Small-Case Fit, but A for Gaming Build
Consider other options if
- Small-Case Fit is what you actually need it forit grades D there; Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX grades S at CAD 265
- You want strong value for Small-Case Fit specificallycompeting products deliver so much more for Small-Case Fit per dollar that no price this model realistically trades at reaches the strong-value mark for this job

FAQ
Why does Relative Value change when I choose another scenario?
Each scenario changes the weights applied to capability, price and the other published factors. The hardware facts stay fixed, but the value question changes, so its score and rank can change too.
