How we count evidence

We use original publication dates. Reposts and substantially copied stories are grouped, with diminishing credit for repeated coverage from the same publisher. Sponsored, gifted and affiliate coverage earns no recommendation points. No disclosure found means commercial status is uncertain.

Trending weighs source breadth (40), growth against the preceding four weeks (30), and repeated food mentions (20). Social engagement data is currently unavailable; we rescale the available evidence instead of inventing social scores. These are experimental attention measures, not objective food-quality ratings.

FoodScout’s own articles, newly imported listings, and paid venue products do not contribute external recommendation points. Venue matches require supporting street addresses. Unclear branches, undated articles and future publication dates stay out. Automated excerpts and classifications may miss context—read the linked original before deciding.
