## About Internet Standing
Internet Standing is the internet's trust layer — a platform where anyone can review, rate, and assess any content, creator, or organization on the internet. Think "IMDb + Yelp + Rotten Tomatoes for the entire internet, with a built-in lie detector."

## Core Metrics

### Trust Score (1-5 Stars)
Weighted average of all community reviews. Weight factors:
- Reviewer's trust score (0-100) / 100
- Time decay: e^(-0.005 × days since review)
- Helpfulness factor: based on helpful/unhelpful votes ratio
- Verified reviewer bonus: 1.2x weight
Minimum 5 reviews required for public display.

### Political Bias (1-5 Scale → 7 Labels)
Crowd-sourced political leaning assessment using weighted median (resistant to brigading).
Scale: 1.00-1.49 = Far Left, 1.50-2.24 = Left, 2.25-2.74 = Center-Left, 2.75-3.25 = Center, 3.26-3.75 = Center-Right, 3.76-4.50 = Right, 4.51-5.00 = Far Right.
Confidence levels: Hidden (<20 votes), Low (20-99), Moderate (100-499), High (500+).

### Information Accuracy (0-100%)
Community assessment normalized from 1-5 scale to percentage.
Labels: 0-30% = Unreliable, 31-50% = Questionable, 51-70% = Mixed, 71-85% = Mostly Accurate, 86-100% = Highly Accurate.

## How Reviews Work
Every review requires:
- Overall rating (1-5 stars) — mandatory
- Political bias vote (Far Left to Far Right) — mandatory
- Information accuracy vote (Very Inaccurate to Very Accurate) — mandatory
- Review text (minimum 50 characters) — mandatory
- Optional: dimension ratings, pros/cons, evidence links, tags

## Anti-Gaming Measures
- Weighted median for bias (resistant to vote brigading)
- Brigading detection: review spike monitoring, coordinated voting detection
- Trust score weighting: low-trust users have less influence
- Rate limiting: max 20 reviews/day per user
- Duplicate content detection via text similarity analysis
