The signal score

A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.

So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.
