## Our Comparison Methodology
We use transparent, objective metrics:

### Liquid Soap (Flüssigseife)
- Value metric: ml per Euro (ml/€)
- Usage assumption: 2.5 ml per hand wash
- Calculation: volume_ml / price_eur

### Solid Soap (Feste Seife)  
- Value metric: mg per Euro (mg/€)
- Usage assumption: 500 mg per use
- Calculation: weight_mg / price_eur

## Important: Liquid and solid soaps are NEVER compared against each other
Due to fundamentally different physical properties (volume vs. weight), liquid soaps and solid soaps each have their own separate ranking. There is no combined ranking.

## Ranking Categories
1. 🏆 Best Price-Performance (Bestes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis) — highest ml/€ or mg/€
2. ⭐ Editor's Choice (Redaktionsempfehlung) — best balance of price, quality & brand
3. 💸 Cheapest Option (Günstigste Option) — lowest absolute price
