Analysis Details
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
One-Hit Wonders

Never-Verified Reviewers
221 of the 225 reviewers have never written a verified purchase review. This is an excessively large percentage of Never-Verified Reviewers which may indicate unnatural reviews.
Fail Phrase Repetition

66 of the 225 total reviews for this product use substantial repetitive phrases between them. These reviewers have rated this product an average of 3.4 while reviews without substantial repetitive phrases rated this product an average of 3.0. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews.

- 21%

There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:
- We don't have a magic ability to collect every single deleted review; we can only identify reviews as deleted if we collect them on one date and then notice they are no longer visible on a subsequent date.
- We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
- We also don't know why these reviews were removed. It could be action from the platform, personal decision by the review author, part of an entire account closure, even some data error on our part, etc.
