Gotham Buds struggles with staff demeanor and product quality, despite some positive customer interactions. (AI guess, from 661 reviews.)
It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. New York cannabis dispensaries run 22 to 27. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Gotham Buds scores 23, below the New York average of 25. The same method scores every business on the registry.
