One line item here is seed-starting trays. Rankquant ranks the homenote 2 Pack 20 Cell Seed Starting Trays with 40 Clear 3 Inch Plant Pots against the rest of its Patio, Lawn & Garden catalogue by re-centring every review on the reviewer who wrote it — 4 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.
