The score behind the star rating.

Knotty Doxie aggregates review signal from Google, Talabat, Trustpilot, and other public sources, then runs it through a proprietary eight-component algorithm calibrated for Dubai and the GCC.

What you see on a brand page

• A single Knotty Doxie Score from 10–100 with verdict and momentum
• Six category readings (food quality, service, value, and more — sector-dependent)
• Top strengths and raised themes from real review language
• A constructive four-part insight — never a complaints board

What makes it different

• GCC cultural calibration — Ramadan, summer exodus, and Gulf Arabic code-switching are accounted for
• Decision-impact weighting — not all negative keywords matter equally
• BPI seeding detection (B2B only) — flags coordinated review manipulation patterns
• Peer benchmarking — your score is relative to comparable brands, not absolute

Mission

Better feedback makes Dubai better. We make quality visible — from neighbourhood cafés to major real estate developers — so residents and operators can act on honest, calibrated intelligence.
