How to read this analysis

Reviato standardizes public review metrics across sources, then calculates topic signals from analyzed complaint and praise excerpts. Platform labels and source reports stay visible so the findings can be checked.

Topic percentages describe the analyzed excerpt sample, not every published review. Treat them as a market signal and confirm the pattern in your own recent feedback before acting.
