Picking one
One line item here is a carrier you can grab. Rankquant ranks the Pecute Cat Carrier,Top Expandable Dog Crate for Travel, Grey against the rest of its Pet Supplies catalogue by re-centring every review on the reviewer who wrote it — 5 calibrated reviewers on this one — rather than averaging raw stars, which is why a four-star product with tough reviewers can outrank a five-star one. The full product rankings are built the same way.
