34% of its 79 recent 5★ reviews came from accounts that had written only that one review when we captured it (the median across companies is about 39%). A high share is a reason to look closer, not evidence of fake reviews.

Review velocity: 10 of this company’s 1,998 Trustpilot reviews (1%) were written in the last 12 months.
