How the score works and rating distribution in Louisville
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.

- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.6. Top 8% in Louisville means it ranks in the top 8% of tours in Louisville by this score.
