How this category is modeled

Category-specific math, not one universal score.

Each category uses its own benefit/cost structure and keeps the inputs visible.

01

Separate partner spending from all other card spending.

02

Apply the partner reward cap before adding base rewards.

03

Subtract annual ownership cost after fee-waiver treatment.
