How ratings count toward the Index

To count, an aggregate must come from a supported source, match this product, include at least 5 ratings, and have been refreshed within 90 days. Its weight is 12% for 5 to 24 ratings, 15% for 25 to 99, or 18% for 100 or more. Higher tiers need another signal alongside; a ratings-only coffee stays at 12%.
