Check the input
A useful result starts by asking whether the submitted evidence is clear enough for the question being answered.

How Style Look Lab approaches analysis
The shared standards behind every analysis—and a clear path into the detailed method for each product that is actually available.

The rules before the result
Separate evidence from judgment
Observable signals, deterministic transformations, and model interpretation do different jobs and should remain distinguishable.
Keep uncertainty visible
Confidence describes support in the available evidence. It is not a guarantee, a laboratory reading, or a statistical accuracy claim.
State the boundary
Every method explains what photos can distort, what the analysis does not infer, and when a retake or real-world check matters more.
Test for avoidable bias
Skin depth, ethnicity, age, or body size must not become shortcuts for a styling category that should be based on relevant evidence.
Give the user control
Photos have a stated purpose and retention policy. Account tools provide export, and support handles verified deletion requests.

Seasonal Color Analysis
How photo quality checks, estimated CIELAB evidence, deterministic color traits, model judgment, the 12-season framework, confidence, and privacy fit together.
The framework itself is laid out season by season in the visual guide to the 12 color seasons.

Body Shape Classification
How four circumference measurements, ratios instead of fixed inch differences, published cut-off lines, two-candidate handling at the boundaries, and the sources behind each threshold fit together. The result names a proportion group; it does not rank one.
The six groups, and why six rather than the more common five, are laid out in the guide to the six body shapes.
