Source coverage

Which sources are ingested today and which are roadmapped. No source and no reviewer carries a weight: every qualifying reviewer is normalized onto their own z-scale and then counted once, whichever source they came from.
IMDb (live)1.79M reviewers, 5.43M reviews ingested. 1.17M qualified for z-normalization (DB1, stddev>0); 1.37M qualified for raw-average track (DB2, review_count≥2).
Rotten Tomatoes (live)Blended in where a title matches — 61.6% of the catalog now carries blended IMDb + Rotten Tomatoes signal.
Catalog filterTitles with at least 3 z-normalizable reviewers — below that, a mean per-reviewer z-score is too thin a measurement to rank.
Metacritic (not ingested)Roadmapped. A pre-weighted professional aggregate: Metacritic applies its own editor-assigned weight to each publication before averaging.
Letterboxd (not ingested)Roadmapped. Cinephile audience; a cleaner crowd signal than IMDb.

How the cohort is defined

Those two fields are the whole cohort. A 2019 feature is re-ranked against other features released in the 2010s, not against Citizen Kane, and the exact cohort label (“Movies · 2010s”) is printed on every title page beside the in-cohort percentile so you can judge the comparison. Genre and budget are not cohort dimensions. The in-cohort percentile is the same mean z-score as the global one, simply re-ranked inside a smaller set — a re-ranking, not a second computation.

Frequently asked questions

Does Rankquant weight Rotten Tomatoes differently from Metacritic?+
No. Rankquant does not weight sources at all — every qualifying reviewer is normalized onto their own z-scale and then counted once, with no source multiplier anywhere in the pipeline. The Tomatometer has a different problem: it is a binary fresh/rotten verdict aggregated into a percentage, so it throws away the difference between a 60% review and a 95% review before anyone can use it. Per-reviewer z-normalization is what we do instead, and it keeps exactly the cardinal information a binary verdict destroys. Film and TV scores are built from IMDb reviewer-level ratings, blended with Rotten Tomatoes where available. Full argument at /blog/rotten-tomatoes-problem.
Will you cover streaming-exclusive series?+
Yes — IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes both cover streaming originals. Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO, Prime Video, Disney+ limited series get the same treatment as theatrical releases.
What about audience scores vs. critic scores?+
Neither is given more influence, because no reviewer is given more influence. Every qualifying reviewer is normalized onto their own z-scale and then counted once, exactly like every other reviewer — there is no credibility weight, no source weight and no professional-versus-crowd multiplier anywhere in the pipeline. What actually varies is how many reviewers stand behind a title, and that is what the AI-adjusted percentile discounts for. Film and TV scores are built from IMDb reviewer-level ratings, blended with Rotten Tomatoes where available.
What affiliate links do you show?+
One. Opening a title in /movies/catalog/ shows a Prime Video link — an Amazon search for the title and year, as an Amazon Associates link. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Individual film pages carry no streaming link at all; their only outbound link is to IMDb, which is untracked. Apple TV+, Hulu and physical media are not currently offered.
