EVIDENCE BOUNDARIES
Source and Sample Rules
Sample size and source diversity are separate dimensions, and both are visible next to every conclusion.
EVIDENCE BOUNDARIES
What this means for the pages you read.
These rules apply to every V5 consumer record and guide on Revuei.
Source ecosystemsThe public review ecosystem is recorded per product. One ecosystem is labeled Limited source diversity; more than one is labeled Multiple ecosystems.
Sample levelsRecords are labeled Sufficient sample, Limited sample or Directional sample based on the signal level in the structured record. Sufficient sample does not mean cross-platform consensus.
Publication thresholdA guide needs at least two same-category product records with a matching recurring signal. Below that threshold, the page shows an insufficient-data state instead of unrelated products.
Duplicate handlingExact and near-duplicate reviews are removed so repeated copies do not inflate a theme. Product and version matching happen before reviews enter a record.
Collection windowReviews are handled against a dated collection window. Stale or missing refreshes remain visible limits on the page.
