A fair comparison uses matched inputs. Different products, dates or package choices can make either column look better without answering the buyer's question.
Record the rating base
Save platform, score, count and review date when available. A small or old sample should not be treated like a broad current history.
Match evidence to variant
Look for the selected colour, version or size. Keep general reviews as context when they cannot be matched.
Continue to arrival evidence
Use the option snapshot and warehouse photos for the item that actually arrived. Rating context can rank candidates but cannot inspect them.
Record the selected option and current link, then finish with Keep, Wait, Replace or Archive. This directory does not handle orders, payments, shipping or after-sales service.
