How do the scores on these Korean Air shortlists work?

Scores are editorial opinions on a 1 to 10 scale. They start near the middle, then move with a simple heuristic on our schematic. Exit rows and bulkheads usually gain points for space. Window and aisle seats gain a small preference over middle seats. Seats next to a lavatory or a galley lose points for traffic and noise, and many rear rows lose a little as well. On the Boeing 777-300ER shortlist, the editorial ranking starts with 25A, 25K, 25C. The full rules are in the methodology. A plain language walkthrough is in How Pick Your Row scores work.

Can the real Korean Air cabin differ from these shortlists?

Drawn seat counts on these configs run about 194 to 291 seats. Another registration can move galleys, lavatories, exit rows, or the number of rows.
