Made in the UK

Ranked on how closely the attributes agree, and nothing else. Where a maker states where something was made we show it, and where they do not we say so: a British company can sell a jean made abroad, and the two are different questions (see how we decide what counts as British). The score is agreement discounted by how much evidence it rests on, so a product agreeing perfectly on one attribute does not outrank one agreeing closely on four. Attributes neither side states are not counted against anybody, and never guessed.
