Picking one

One line item here is a wrap organiser. Rankquant ranks the Whitmor Christmas Gift Wrap Organizer for 30" Rolls of Gift Wrap against the rest of its Home & Kitchen 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.
