star rating.
A star rating averages opinions. Knotty Doxie reads the signal underneath — across Google, Talabat and more — and calibrates it for how Dubai actually speaks.

Why a Dubai score reads differentlyReads both languages at onceعربي + EN
Code-switched reviews are read in a single pass — not translated word by word and flattened. The meaning survives the mix.
«والله + حلو» → emphasis amplifier, applied to whatever follows — positive or negative. Most tools read it as praise. It isn't.
Knows the calendarSeasonal
A quiet August or a slow Ramadan week isn't a quality drop. Knotty Doxie expects the rhythm of the year and corrects for it before scoring.
Summer exodus → ×0.75 volume expectation · Ramadan evenings → re-weighted, not penalised.
