Abstract: A scientifically robust evaluation system for ecological products value realisation is urgently needed in China. Approaches that rely solely on objective indicators face significant challenges due to data limitations and regional heterogeneity. This study innovatively constructed an experts’ perceived effectiveness evaluation scale for ecological products value realisation, establishing a dual mechanism of “objective data + expert experience calibration” and covering the entire chain of “ecological background–economic conversion–social well-being–benefit feedback”. This framework was applied to the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region, with results indicating that the perceived effectiveness index for value realisation of material-supply-oriented ecological products (MSEPs), regulatory service-oriented ecological products (RSEPs), and cultural service-oriented ecological products (CSEPs) was 0.7054, 0.6482, and 0.6052, respectively. Significant regional differences exist. Beijing holds a central and leading role, while effectiveness in the northern mountainous areas of Hebei Province is stronger than in the central and southern regions. Regions with weaker performance should prioritise leadership strategies over comprehensive development, as disparities arising from regional differentiation call for more sophisticated coordination mechanisms. The study offers new insights for policy decision-making and optimisation, enhancing both the applicability and precision of evaluation methods. Nonetheless, the designed scales remain exploratory and warrant verification through a broader empirical basis.
