4 further reviews are collected for this paddle and not yet read through. They are listed here once an editor has worked through them, and they count towards the score only after that.

Where a reviewer publishes a score, it is theirs, converted to 100, and taken from their own review page or database rather than from the video linked here — the link beside the number goes to the page that carries it. Where they don't publish one, the number is our rating of their written verdict against published anchors — marked “our reading”, and never presented as theirs. How that is done →
