Market share is estimated from each app's review velocity within a group, used as a proxy for install share. For category and collection groups, it's a straight share-of-reviews calculation; for keyword groups, ranking position is weighted (rank #1 ≈ 40× the weight of rank #22, with apps beyond #22 excluded) since search traffic concentrates heavily at the top. The Country filter on the table re-computes share using only that country's reviews.
