The Mr ROI buy file

Bought, repeated, tested, then judged.

This is the useful layer on top of years of order history. A purchase is evidence, not an endorsement, so every item carries a current verdict, ownership context, and the price or fit rule that can change the answer.

Verdict key

The order receipt does not get the last word.

Would buy again

Owned evidence plus a clear reason to choose it again now.

Repeat buy

Repeated use is strong, but format and live price still matter.

Use-case specific

Good only for the stated person, system, fitment, or use case.

Change course

The product, retailer, subscription, or habit should change.

Needs owner verdict

The order is real; the retention and long-term verdict are not confirmed.

Purchase-informed, not purchase-blind

The buy list and research ledger

Recommended and repeated products appear first. Conditional, verify, and adjust entries remain available in the full ledger because changed minds are part of the evidence.
