# DeBruin Scale
> Proposed independent grading and certification standard for semiconductor hardware.

Canonical: https://debruinscale.org/
Alias: https://debruinscale.com/ → 301 to .org

## Summary
The DeBruin Scale grades chips AAA→F using four 0–100 dimensions — Compute, Capacity, Connectivity, Condition — across Die, Package, Accelerator, and System levels. Immediate POC focus: finished AI accelerators / secondary market. Idea · WIP — not a live certification product.
