Suspicious Reviewers

One-Hit Wonders
1,410 of a random sample of 14,073 reviewers have only reviewed this product. While this is more One-Hit Wonders than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
Take-Back Reviewers
2,843 of a random sample of 14,073 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.
Fail
Reviewer Ease

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 4.3, while the average ease score for reviewers in this category is 4.3. 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.

Word Count Comparison

-
- 70%
- Have an overrepresented word count
In the graph above, we can see the distribution of review word counts for this product and the expected distribution for this category. We see the following 2 groups with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:In total, we found that 9,862 reviews (or 70%) are within an overrepresented word count group. These reviews have rated this product an average of 4.6, while all other reviews have rated this product an average of 4.3. 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.
Warn
Deleted Reviews

We discovered a total of 31 deleted reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4. 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.

Rating Trend

-
- 69%
- Created over 48 days
We counted 14,152 reviews for this product over the span of 456 days, an average of 31.0 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 51 or fewer reviews on any given day.
However, we see the following 48 days exceeding this threshold:In total, we found that 9,704 reviews were created on just 48 days. This is an excessively high number of reviews submitted on these high volume days.
Warn
Reviewer Participation

-
- 85%
- From reviewers with an overrepresented participation
We see the following 2 participation groups with a statistically significant greater concentration than what we'd expect to see:In total, we found that 11915 of our sample of 14073 reviewers (or 85%) are within an overrepresented participation group. This is an excessively high number of reviewers in overrepresented participation groups.
