Scoring Standards
Shower Curtain Scoring Standards
Shower Curtain Scoring Dimensions
We assigned the highest weight to durability as 42% of negative complaints stem from poor material and low durability, followed by complaint avoidance to address common issues including product misrepresentation, odor hazards and unqualified functionality. Authentic praise and recommend rate are given lower weights as they are supplementary signals of product satisfaction rather than core quality indicators.
Weight Distribution
| Dimension | Weight | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Complaint Avoidance | 30% | Lower complaint rate → higher score |
| Authentic Praise | 20% | More specific praise → higher score |
| Durability | 35% | Better long-term reliability → higher score |
| Would Recommend | 15% | Higher “would buy again” rate → higher score |
