Each of the 6 columns is one independently scored dimension for headless cms — developer ux, editor ux, content modelling, and more. Scores run 0–100 and use the same methodology as every tool review and comparison page on RadarTrek, so setting a minimum threshold here filters by the exact same numbers shown elsewhere on the site.
Yes — filter by pricing model (free, freemium, paid, usage-based) and set a maximum monthly cost alongside any dimension score threshold, so you only see tools that fit both your budget and your minimum quality bar.
The main headless cms category page shows one fixed ranking by overall weighted score. The screener lets you set your own filters and sort by any individual dimension, not just the overall score — useful when one specific dimension (not the overall average) is what actually matters for your use case.
