Every review, with its papers in order.

Review collection is crowded — proof is not. ReviewProof imports your existing reviews, surfaces the patterns the FTC fake-review rule punishes (gating, incentives, bursts, duplicates, AI-generation signals), and publishes a widget that only shows reviews linked to a verified transaction.

Heuristics are labelled signals, not verdicts. AI-generation signals indicate patterns associated with generated text; they do not prove a review was AI-written.

Provenance, not collection

Every review gets a chain of custody: source, verified-transaction link, edit and moderation history — including negative reviews kept, which is your proof of no suppression.

Verified-experience widget

The embeddable widget displays only reviews linked to a verified transaction record you attest or import. Any AI summary inside it is visibly labelled as AI-generated.

Evidence packs (Pro)

One export that answers a dispute or an FTC inquiry: the full provenance chain, moderation log and risk report, hash-stamped as a certificate.

§2 — What the audit checks

Pattern	Why it matters
Gating language	Asking only happy customers to review — banned review suppression/gating under 16 CFR Part 465.
Incentive markers	Discounts, freebies or refunds tied to reviews must be disclosed; undisclosed incentives are a violation.
Burst / timing anomalies	A flood of reviews in a short window is the classic bought-review fingerprint.
Duplicate text	The same wording across different reviewers suggests a template — human or generated.
AI-generation signals	Phrase and structure heuristics, clearly labelled as signals. The FTC bans AI-generated fake reviews outright.
