Transparent methodology
The model does not guess technical specifications that are missing from the product record. If no user rating exists, that signal is removed rather than treated as zero and the remaining weights are rebalanced. When ratings exist, a confidence-adjusted average with a 4.0/5 prior prevents very small samples from dominating the result. Because both products are in the same festival, the placement signal comes directly from the same finalists pool.
