![]() ![]() Depending on those test results, we then either a) remove those reviews completely or b) give those reviews lesser "weight".We use a wide variety of "tests" to identify reviews that may be unnatural. ![]() but what does that say about the legitimate, natural reviews? What if some (or all) of the unnatural reviews were actually posted by the seller's competitors as a way to sabotage their competition? (This is quite common, by the way, especially with lower-cost items.) A letter grade of "B" or "C" is extremely unclear. If you're looking at a 4.7-star product that was given a "B" or "C" grade, what does that really mean? Is it a good product or not? Presumably, a "B" or "C" means that some of the reviews are fake or unnatural. Other Amazon review checker sites/tools assign a letter grade (A, B, C, D or F) to each product. Our mission is to use technology to identify and remove all of these unnatural reviews to give Amazon shoppers a more accurate "Adjusted Rating" that shows what true, unbiased shoppers really think of each product. Many of the reviews are biased (from family/friends of the seller), incentivized (the seller gave the reviewer a huge discount or kick-back or even gave them the product for free) or otherwise unnatural.
