Holistic Verification Process

Our approach to verifying online legitimacy is multifaceted:

  1. Technical Analysis: We employ advanced web crawlers and AI-driven analysis to assess website structure, security protocols, and data handling practices.
  2. Content Evaluation: Our team meticulously reviews website content, looking for inconsistencies, red flags, and hallmarks of legitimate businesses.
  3. User Feedback Integration: We incorporate and verify user experiences to provide a comprehensive view of a website or service’s legitimacy.
  4. Continuous Monitoring: Our systems perform ongoing checks to catch any changes in a website’s status or behavior.

Commitment to Accuracy and Fairness

We understand the weight our assessments carry. Therefore, we adhere to strict guidelines to ensure accuracy and fairness:

  • Multiple-Expert Review: Each assessment undergoes review by at least two team members before publication.
