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

Use actual dining spend instead of a headline reward rate alone.

02

Apply category caps and annual card cost consistently.

03

Do not assign value to restaurant offers that are not modeled in the inputs.
