Field notes
The methodology gives each review five readings, but the overall score is a judgment rather than an average; “vibe” is described as completely unscientific and heavily weighted. House rules say real fountains are found and photographed or filmed on site, with samples labeled separately. The page also distinguishes a retired “Hors concours” fountain from the active category awards.
