How Rightly Rated Protects Truth
Consumer review platforms only work if consumers can trust what they read, and honest businesses aren't extorted by pay-to-win syndicates. Here is how we guarantee integrity.
Trust is built through clear, accountable conversations.
100% Decoupled from Commercial Revenue
A business cannot buy a higher score, subscribe to hide 1-star reviews, or pay to un-publish critical feedback. Our scoring engine runs completely separate from our billing system.
Bayesian Weighted RightScore™
Raw arithmetic averages are fragile — a single malicious review on a new company can destroy its score. RightScore uses Bayesian smoothing with a prior distribution to resist small-sample distortion and review bombing.
Automated Fraud & Cluster Detection
Our ingest pipeline cross-checks device signatures, disposable email domains, repetitive IP clusters, and anomalous review-velocity spikes before a review is published.
Strict Single Review Per Business Rule
A user may only hold one active review per business profile. When updating an existing experience, previous versions are archived and a clear 'Edited' timestamp is appended.
The RightScore™ Bayesian Algorithm
Unlike platforms that show a naive arithmetic mean, RightScore calculates a Bayesian weighted average:
RightScore = (v × R + m × C) / (v + m)
This formulation ensures that a brand with two 5-star reviews does not rank above a long-standing business with a 4.8-star score across thousands of verified orders.
Review Authenticity Labels
Every review on Rightly Rated is stamped with an unambiguous origin badge:
