🧮 How We Got This Score
In short: each of the 17 reviews is turned into a 0 to 10 number, stronger evidence counts for more, and the numbers are averaged.
- 1 reviews gave their own numeric score, and those count extra. The others are scored from their overall tone.

- If 80%+ of reviews lean the same way, the score moves by 0.5. This time: 0 (no direction reached 80% agreement).
- 76% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 1.4). Agreement: Moderate.
