ONE RESULT, EXPLAINED

Reviewer demo-192
appears in 14 distinct egos.

The search opened 20 reviewer histories and reached 146 reviewers. This reviewer has a corroboration count of 14.

An ego is the local neighborhood around one opened reviewer: people giving five stars to the same products around the same time. Each distinct opened ego adds at most one count to a reviewer, even when several products overlap.

Where the count comes from

Here are 3 supporting egos. Each row shows one shared product and the two five-star review dates, within the selected ±56-day window.

Examples supporting the selected reviewer’s computed corroboration count
Opened reviewer	Shared product	Opened reviewer’s date	demo-192’s date	Count added
demo-18	P00004	2019-04-07	2019-03-04	+1 ego

These rows are examples from the computed result. The complete ledger below includes the remaining supporting egos and product connections.
