Why this order?

The same seven signals, weighted the same way, for every product in this job.

BetterScore is confidence-adjusted rather than a simple average: a product with 12 reviews cannot outrank a product with 60 on volume alone, and recent evidence counts for more than old evidence without erasing the history. Every position change on this board is recorded with a stated reason.
