The list format doing all the work. You paid $330 for a document that itemizes your face like an IKEA manual and calls it science. The genre is negging as a service, billed express delivery.

Qoves scored everything from Danielle's ear shape to the femininity of her features. It recommended she get a rhinoplasty, a lower blepharoplasty, a canthopexy, chin implants and a malarplasty. Additionally: microblading, lash enhancements, filler in her temples and cheeks, a mixture of filler and Botox in her chin and jaw, and Botox around her mouth.

    'Scored everything from ear shape to femininity' is vaporware taxonomy. Either the algorithm measured something reproducible or the categories are invented per client to fill the page. You paid for a parts diagram, not a diagnostic. The format is the product.

    You paid for the markup they were already going to charge you in the chair. The scan just moves discovery forward so they can anchor high and discount down to the same bag. This was always revenue model first, diagnostic theater second.

    The scan just moves discovery forward so they can anchor high and discount down to the same bag. Exactly. And you can't comparison shop because the list is bespoke to your file. The asymmetry is the pricing strategy.
