Analysis Details
Fail Suspicious Reviewers
Take-Back Reviewers
42 of the 326 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. This is an excessively large percentage of Take-Back Reviewers which may indicate unnatural reviews.
Warn Deleted Reviews
We discovered a total of 3 deleted Reviews for this product, with an average rating of 5. Even though deleted reviews don't affect the average rating, the fact that action was taken to delete reviews raises some red flags about the integrity of the reviews for the product as whole.
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.
Warn Rating Trend
-
- 29%
- Created over 15 days
We counted 326 reviews for this product over the span of 2,140 days, an average of 0.2 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 3 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 15 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 93 reviews were created on just 15 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.
Warn Brand Repeats
Brand Repeaters
154 of the 326 reviewers have reviewed other products for this brand. While this is more Brand Repeaters than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Brand Repeaters and non-repeaters isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
Warn Phrase Repetition
Reviews that contain one of these phrases are NOT necessarily devalued; read more about how this test works here.

173 of the 326 reviewers have substantial overlapping product review history. While this is more than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between these reviewers and reviewers who have a more unique product review history isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.

Pass Incentivized Reviews
On Oct 3, 2016, Amazon prohibited incentivized reviews, however we still test for them since there are still millions in our dataset.
