🧮 How We Got This Score

In short: each of the 10 reviews is turned into a 0 to 10 number, stronger evidence counts for more, and the numbers are averaged.

4 reviews gave their own numeric score, and those count extra. The others are scored from their overall tone.
First impressions and reviews without hands-on testing count less.
If 80%+ of reviews lean the same way, the score moves by 0.5. This time: +0.5 (100% of sources positive (threshold 80%)).
100% of reviews lean positive, and scores are close together (spread 0.4). Agreement: High.
How we got there: score 8.3/10, value signal 6.8/10 from 10 reviews, evidence strong (10 reviews, 10 hands-on).
Reviews are dated Oct 2026 to Oct 2026.

The arithmetic, for the curious

Review type	Reviews	Avg value	Total weight	Value × weight
Numeric reviewer score	4	8.0	5.10	40.88
Strongly positive review	1	8.5	0.70	5.95
Mildly positive review	5	7.5	4.40	33.00
All reviews	10		10.20	79.83

Raw average = 79.83 ÷ 10.20 = 7.8. Consensus adjustment +0.5 gives the final 8.3.

Calculated in code from structured data, with no manual adjustments.
