About our ranking methodology TLDR: We read top 10 'Best gaming racing wheels' articles on the Internet, and combine all the recommendations into one mega-list. The more recommendations a product has, the higher it ranks. In more detail:
- Step 1: identify experts. Robots determine most respectable sources on the Internet, then the team manually chooses the best ones.
- Step 2: import experts' rankings. Robots try to import the rankings that experts independently publish. Since robots inevitably mess up, team manually checks the data.
- Step 3: exclude unrelated products. In their creative wisdom, experts often tend to include accessories or alternatives in their ranking. Our team has to manually exclude products that don't match product category.
- Step 4: determine if experts are endorsing the same product. For variations of the same products our team needs to determine whether the products are the same or not (is iPhone 13 64GB and iPhone 13 128GB the same model or not?)
- Step 4: assign weights to expert endorsements and aggregate opinion. Currently we use ranking methodology 0.7.2: being included in the expert ranking scores points. Being ranked #1 carries a lot more points. Being included in top 3 also carries bonus points. Then the point value of every endorsement is adjusted by a geometric progression with common ratio slightly below 1. In other words, product ranked #1 carries a lot more weight than product ranked #6; product ranked #6 carries slightly more weight than product ranked #8.
- Step 5: add it all up.
- Step 6: do it all again in a month.
