Re:Right to Repair Gaining Momentum on Tuesday March 16, 2021 @01:59PM (#26480455)
The score is based on 5 categories:

1.documentation available

2.ease of repair

3.availability of spare parts

4.price or spare parts

5.category specific to the product (not the same for a washing machine or a computer).

Each of them give you a score out of 20, and the total is divided by 10. So you can have 0 on the 2., making the phone hard to repair, but still having a 8/10 score.

In the end its similar to Booking reviews, where 6/10 is very low and you want to avoid this hotel.

Do you have any link to the research you're reffering to ? I looked into this a while ago when wondering why my headlamp had red ligths, and people seemed to advocate for a dim green light (eg. http://stlplaces.com/night_vision_red_myth/), but I'm struggling to find any research article backing this
