Rule — Calibrate thresholds to local reality at runtime (metro vs rural ~1.5-2x adjustment)
Created 2026-06-23
Rule
Rule: Where the user provides a city, the widget should adjust review-bar thresholds — metros need ~1.5-2x the review count of rural areas. Absent location, present the rural/metro range.
Why: Local Falcon 2025 (Local Falcon 2025 — 50M results: review bar to rank in 3-pack by category) explicitly documents the metro/rural multiplier. A "200 reviews" target in rural Saskatchewan is overkill; in downtown Toronto, it's entry-level.
How to apply: Strongest single upgrade to the widget — accept city as an optional input and re-calibrate the local-saturation axis when available.
