How we rank
Each dispensary's score is a confidence-weighted (Bayesian) average of its customer ratings: a store with hundreds of consistent ratings outranks one with a single perfect score, because one rating isn't proof of being the best in Chicago. When scores tie, we favor the shop with more ratings and a more complete profile.
Where a shop has reviews written on Weedtip, we rank on those. Where it doesn't, we fall back to its Google rating — labeled “on Google” and linked to the Google listing it came from, never presented as ours. Of the 10 shops here, 0 are scored on Weedtip reviews and 10 on Google.
Rankings update as new ratings come in, and positions are never sold — sponsored placements are labeled everywhere they appear.
