Architects struggle to compare new materials like Dekton against established options. Manufacturer specs don't show real-world tradeoffs.
A database would aggregate test data, case studies, and user reviews across materials. Search by properties like hardness, heat resistance, or cost.
Material suppliers might sponsor listings, while design firms would pay for premium access to detailed comparisons.
Launch with just Dekton vs quartz and granite comparisons, then expand.
The risk is manufacturers disputing test methodology or results.
