Comments are read across platforms and rating bands for repeated, specific themes. Duplicated language, solicitation patterns, thin listicles and identity confusion are discounted.
The final order reflects the category-specific signals that matter for this decision, checked against identity, local fit, consistency and evidence quality. Exact weighting and private screening remain proprietary.
