The Framework Behind Every Evaluation

THE AI LUXE FACTOR™ 
METHODOLOGY

We created the first evaluation and certification system for AI's luxury intelligence. Our proprietary methodology evaluates AI tools against luxury-specific benchmarks. Each Luxe Factor™ Score reveals exactly how well a tool performs for luxury brands

How We Measure 
THe Luxury IQ In AI

We evaluate AI tools through two distinct scoring systems—one for emerging luxury brands, one for established luxury brands.

Our proprietary assessment process evaluates tools with parameters calibrated to reflect the distinct goals of each brand type.

Luxury brands can access our comprehensive evaluations and insights aligned with their market position.

Our Assessment Principles

Tailored for
Brand Position

We use two distinct evaluation frameworks—each calibrated for a specific type of luxury brand:
Established
Luxury Brands
Prioritize heritage preservation, global consistency, brand voice replication, and elite personalization for VIP clients.
Emerging
Luxury Brands
Focus on aspirational storytelling, brand distinction, and scalable premium experiences.
This dual-track model ensures each AI tool is assessed for quality and strategic fit.

The Luxe Factor™ 
Scoring System

AI tools receive a Luxe Factor™ Score out of 1000, placing them within six luxury performance tiers:
Cobalt Blue
This is the benchmark of luxury AI performance. Tools in this tier deliver exceptional intelligence across all tested parameters, consistently producing refined, brand-safe outputs with minimal intervention. They understand nuance, maintain tone, and elevate experiences, making them ready for direct deployment in high-stakes luxury environments. Cobalt Blue tools earn Luxe Factor™ Certification and represent best-in-class alignment for both heritage and emerging brands.
900-1000
black platinum
These tools deliver strong luxury alignment and reliable performance across most parameters. They are highly capable but may have limited adaptability or lack the advanced customization needed for highly individualized experiences. Still, they offer confident deployment opportunities with light brand-side refinement. A strategic choice for brands seeking sophistication with scalability.
800-899
yellow gold
Tools in this range show foundational promise but require human refinement to meet luxury standards. Their outputs may demonstrate stylistic awareness or brand relevance, but lack the precision or contextual intelligence necessary for end-to-end automation. These tools can accelerate workflows, but are not plug-and-play for luxury. Best used in hybrid applications with oversight.
700-799
grey
titanium
Tools in this tier demonstrate promising functionality but fall short in key luxury contexts. While they may deliver technically sound output, their performance lacks the nuanced precision, tone, or aesthetic refinement expected by luxury brands. These tools can support internal workflows but require brand-side oversight to meet elevated standards. Ideal for experimentation, not deployment.
600-699
chocolate
bronze
This tier reflects emerging tools that are still maturing in their capabilities. They may offer value in niche tasks or non-client-facing roles but lack the sophistication, consistency, and contextual sensitivity required for luxury brand alignment. Use with caution—most outputs will need refinement, and their reliability across brand experiences is limited.
500-599
blush
copper
Tools in this tier fail to meet luxury thresholds across multiple dimensions. Whether due to generic output, poor customization, or misalignment with luxury brand values, they introduce a high risk to brand equity if deployed directly. Not recommended for luxury use. These tools may be suitable in mass-market applications but require significant evolution before entering a luxury ecosystem.

The Standard for
Luxury AI Evaluation

The AI Luxe Factor™ provides the intelligence luxury brands need to adopt AI with confidence, enhancing exclusivity while protecting brand equity. It's more than a score.

It's a strategic filter that identifies tools designed to elevate brand value.
