How Evidence Works

Two separate signals.

Evidence Level tells you how reliable the pocket information is. Pocket Utility Score tells you how useful the pockets appear to be.

Evidence Level

Evidence Level tells you how reliable the pocket information is. It does not mean the pockets are good or bad.

Found

The brand or retailer claims the product has pockets, but details are limited.

Desk-Checked

Public information such as product page, photos, descriptions, and reviews has been reviewed.

Community-Checked

Shopper-submitted pocket evidence has been added or reviewed.

PocketVerified

Reserved for future products physically tested by Pocket Evidence.

Pocket Utility Score

Pocket Utility Score tells you how useful the pockets appear to be.

1/5
Poor

Fake, decorative, tiny, or barely usable pockets.

2/5
Limited

Holds small items only; phone fit unlikely.

3/5
