ARCHIVE / METHOD KC-2026Q4-1
The residential order as first published.
This is the order published Oct 4, 2026 under the original formula, B = (25 × C + n × r) / (25 + n), C = cohort median rating (4.85). It was replaced on Oct 12, 2026, when the formula switched to a fixed reference of 4.6 stars with a weight of 50 reviews. The Google observations are the same in both. Why the method changed.
