How rank is set
Rank is the number of engines that named the business, then the total number of mentions. Businesses with the same counts share a rank. Mentions are not comparable across engines, so the engine count comes first.
Thin evidence
A business is thin when it is supported by two or fewer category by town questions. A category publishes no list and no summary when any of its top three rows is thin, or when more than half of its rows are thin. Categories held back in this version: BBQ, Sushi.
Sponsors
Sponsored listings sit in their own block, carry a Sponsored label, and never change a rank.
