Which should you pick?

Ledger

63#12 of 23
Leads
Pick it when
Pick Ledger if secure element matters most — it scores 10/10 to GridPlus Lattice1's 3/10 there (weight 27).
Strength
Secure element you can look up — 10/10
Tradeoff
Installing or updating a signing app needs Ledger's live HSM servers (developer sideloading of an app you compile yourself aside), so a new or reset Nano S Plus cannot be readied to sign the normal way without the maker

GridPlus Lattice1

52#17 of 23
Pick it when
Pick GridPlus Lattice1 if fund-loss record matters most — it scores 10/10 to Ledger's 8/10 there (weight 11).

Score dimensions

weights sum to 86

The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
