The ease score is the average rating for all reviews that a given reviewer submits. The average ease score for reviewers of this product is 4.7, while the average ease score for reviewers in this category is 4.4. 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.

• 46%
• Created over 2 days

We counted 13 reviews for this product over the span of 647 days, an average of 0.0 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 1 or fewer reviews on any given day.

However, we see the following 2 days exceeding this threshold:

• 4 Reviews on Mar 28, 2015 (Avg. rating: 5.0)
• 2 Reviews on Mar 22, 2015 (Avg. rating: 3.0)

In total, we found that 6 reviews were created on just 2 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.

• 
• 23%
• Admitted to receiving an incentive

3 of the 13 total reviews for this product admitted to receiving a free or discounted product in exchange for a review. While we could not find a statistically significant difference between the average rating of incentivized reviews and non-incentivized reviews, the presences of at least one incentivized review indicates that there may be more, since not all reviewers will disclose that they had received an incentive to post a review.

• Reviews have been deleted

We have not discovered any deleted reviews for this product.

There are a few limitations to keep in mind regarding the Deleted Reviews test:

1. 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.
2. We have no information on reviews that were never published in the first place.
3. 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.
