How the AIs Agreed (and Disagreed)
The chart above shows how strongly the AI models agree on each of the top 5 picks. Higher percentages mean more AIs ranked it similarly. A score above 80% signals very strong consensus — the AIs really do agree this tip is one of the best.
The Sorting Funnel: From 295 to 92
Here is where the slop gets sorted. We started with 295 raw entries from 15 AI models. After intelligent deduplication (merging entries like "La Nova" and "La Nova Pizzeria"), we ended up with 92 unique tips. Of those, 42 were recommended by multiple AIs — those are the signal. The remaining 50 were single-AI picks that get penalized in our scoring.
