Quick blogpost [here](https://luke.zip/posts/pareto-pcs/) - the overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar. Definitely a labor of love as I have a number of Mini PCs for my "homelab" (TrueNAS, piHole, Plex, basic stuff). It uses Gemini to extract specs from listings (since they're not often strongly categorized).

Finally, data over marketing spin.
pricing data included or just performance scores?
the pareto front visualization is such clever data design
