Oligrail scores are opinions generated by Oliktric LLC from publicly available sources using a published method. They are not statements of fact, guarantees, or endorsements. Restaurants do not pay to change scores. Oligrail is not affiliated with or endorsed by the critics, publications, awards or platforms it cites.

Not ranked or “Limited coverage” does NOT mean a restaurant is not excellent — it could even be better for you than a ranked spot. Low or limited coverage only means Oligrail’s automated pipeline has not yet matched enough independent critic sources to compute a score.
Listed places score 7.5–10 today: one current list = 8.0, two = 10.0 (a list 18 to 36 months old counts three-quarters, so 7.5 or 9.5). Lower scores are reserved for diner votes, which are off. Only places we could match in 35 San Francisco Bay Area ZIPs. How dish scores work
