How the GiftScore is calculated

Signal	Reading	Pts
Base rating	5.0★	+100.0 / 100
Review volume confidence	Tiny test crowd	+0.0 (min -2)
Critical owner-feedback signal	No clear signal	+0.0 (min -2)

Base rating is an estimated baseline from the owner feedback we have available across Amazon reviews and any credible web sources we reviewed. GiftScore editorial signals (build, safety, longevity) are scored independently of that baseline — they reflect what owner feedback and product specs actually say about the product. Some signals are skipped when they don't fit the product type.
