Low confidence. The comparison is valid and the finding is supported across 58 businesses and 113 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.
