Sample-aware rankings
Rank the machine.
Not the marketing.
Rankings use the adjusted Owner Score—not a raw star average. A product can enter with one reviewed rating, while Bayesian adjustment prevents a tiny sample from dominating.
Current data
No five-product peer group exists yet.
Products can now enter ranking math from their first reviewed direct rating. The database currently lacks five comparable products with a direct Owner Score, so there is no honest list to order.

Five perfect reviews should not beat fifty excellent ones.
The published ranking score pulls small samples toward the peer-group mean. As qualified evidence grows, the adjusted score moves closer to the raw Owner Score. Every ranking keeps its methodology version, inputs, confidence, evidence count, and historical snapshot.
