Methodology
A recommendation is a claim. It needs evidence.
Geppetto recommends a machine only for a defined buyer and application, and makes the limits of the available evidence visible.
Recommendation rule
“Recommended for” — never “best for everyone.”
Global equipment establishes the benchmark. Chinese machines enter a shortlist only when their capability, documentation, support path, and evidence fit the buyer’s actual constraints.
- 01
Application fit
The part, material, tolerance, batch size, and workflow the machine must support.
- 02
Capability evidence
Model-specific specifications, documentation, demonstrations, and independent use evidence.
- 03
Total cost
Machine price plus freight, duties, installation, tooling, software, training, spares, and likely downtime.
- 04
Supportability
English documentation, commissioning, response paths, training, warranty, and spare-part availability.
- 05
Evidence confidence
What Geppetto reviewed, when it was reviewed, and which claims remain unverified.
