How these are made
No sentence on this page is written by hand. Each one is a function of the database, recomputed every time the site rebuilds after a sweep of the shops; a fact whose data is missing that day is left out rather than shown as zero. Prices are never converted between currencies, nothing is scored, and nothing is called the best. The method behind every figure is on the page it links to, and on how this works.
