• Amazon customer rating (45%): the captured average for this exact listing, damped when there are fewer than 50 reviews.
• Review volume (35%): more reviews mean more reliable evidence, on a logarithmic scale up to 5,000 reviews.
• Documented specifications (20%): how completely the exact listing documents the attributes that matter for this use.

The first-ranked product of each comparison carries a publisher-assigned editorial rating, shown separately from the formula result above.
