## Past reports

The report as it read each month, newest first:

- 2026-11: truth score 93, High: https://truthsignal.com/business/dallasnews.com/report/2026-11.md

## How the customers' Total rating is worked out

Bayesian average: 7 reviews at 3.5 stars added, so a few reviews move it less. The 7 added reviews at 3.5 stars are the weighting Trustpilot publishes for its TrustScore. With this business's figures:

(7 × 3.5 + 4.3 × 10,898 (App Store)) ÷ (7 + 10,898) = 4.3, to one decimal place
