What is a good electronics project reliability score?

A score above 80 means the project has passed many basic checks, but it still needs real testing. A score below 60 usually means power, wiring, module isolation, or documentation problems should be fixed before ordering a PCB.

Can this calculator replace a PCB review?

No. The calculator is a quick self-check. A real PCB or project review should inspect schematic details, footprints, power rails, connectors, layout screenshots, BOM, and intended use.

Free diagnostic tool

Score your electronics project before you debug blindly.

Use this calculator to find weak spots in ESP32, Arduino, sensor, relay, SIM800L, OLED, motor, and breadboard-to-PCB projects. It gives you a reliability score, likely risk areas, and the next guides to read.

How to use the score

Low scores are useful. They tell you where to stop guessing.

0-39: High risk Do not order a PCB yet. Check power, ground, minimal sketches, and module behavior first.

40-69: Debuggable The project has some structure, but one or two weak areas can still cause random failures.

70-100: Closer to reliable You may be ready to document the circuit, clean the BOM, and prepare for a PCB review.
