CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews rose from 4 to 9 between November 14, 2025 and July 24, 2026 — no sudden jump.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 4 to 9 between November 14, 2025 and July 24, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 1, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
