What this means
This instrument starts blank so it does not judge a made-up example before you have entered your own situation.
Formula used
Trust score = base − clustering penalty − polish penalty − absence penalty − account age penalty
Worked example
100 reviews arriving in a two-day window, all 5-star, with no negative reviews on a 3-year-old product: trust score very low — manipulation pattern detected.
Common questions
Does a low trust score mean the product is bad?
No. It means the review set shows patterns associated with manipulation. The product may be fine — but the reviews are not a reliable signal.
What is review clustering?
Clustering is when a disproportionate share of reviews arrive in a very short window, often when a seller pushes for reviews simultaneously from the same source.
