Each source is averaged first, then sources are weighted by reliability: audits, lab tests and verified-buyer platforms count most, rating organisations and expert reviewers less, brand-run reviews and community opinion least. Review scores also weigh by how many reviews stand behind them, and anything older than three years fades.

Verification

Matches the list (England and Portugal); Scotland and other UK suppliers should be added. The main domain is sunspel.com (sunspel.de is a local storefront). Wikipedia gives Long Eaton as the base; the brand also has London stores.
