Ostrich awards are computed nightly by the badge generator engine. All scores are derived exclusively from verified property manager reviews — Ostrich does not accept payment for awards or rankings.
Category Leader (top 3): Ranked by composite score = review_score × 0.7 + normalized_review_count × 0.3. Vendors with fewer than 5 reviews are ineligible.
Top Rated (ranks 4–10): Same scoring methodology as Category Leader. Reflects strong peer recognition without reaching the podium.
Rising Star: The single vendor per category with the highest positive rank delta over the last 90 days. Recognises momentum and improvement rather than absolute standing.
