What CRACTT weighs
Your constraints first
Budget, timeline, and dealbreakers filter the list before anything gets ranked.
Value, not just price
The cheapest option is often the most expensive one twice.
Realistic availability
A perfect pick you can't get this month isn't the best option.
Confidence and caveats
Every ranking comes with what would change it.
FAQ
- How specific should I be?
- Very. 'Best laptop' gets a generic answer; 'best laptop under $800 for college engineering' gets a useful one.
