Confidence and limitations
Low confidence. The comparison is valid and the finding is supported across 85 businesses and 374 clustered reviews.
- Platform audiences and review prompts may differ.
- The platform samples use different review or business denominators.
- Market evidence cannot establish the cause of the difference.
- The comparison does not describe every business in the market.
- Contradictory evidence is present and should be checked locally.
- The two comparison sides cover different numbers of businesses.
