Parent reviews.

Verified parent reviewers rate listings on a structured scale across the listing's listed dimensions. Volume- and recency-weighted; reviewer trust scores modulate influence.

Who reviews

Any parent or guardian who confirms their parenting status during signup can review. Trust grows with review history: consistent, on-topic, well-evidenced reviews compound a reviewer's per-review weight over time.

Verification posture

Verification is intentionally light at signup; we lose more value than we gain by gating reviewer entry on heavyweight identity checks. The trust score does the heavy lifting once a reviewer has a track record.

Rating scale

Reviews use the listing's listed dimensions (educational fit, pro-social framing, ad load, stereotypes, drift, etc., chosen per category). Each dimension is rated 0–100; reviewers may also leave a written comment.

How reviews weight into the score

Reviews are aggregated with the Bayesian Wilson method: the listing's prior is taken from category-level reviewer history, and individual reviews update the posterior. Recent reviews weight more heavily than old ones; bursts (suspected brigading) are flagged for council review and held out of the score until verified.

Moderation

Volunteer moderators review flagged content. Appeals route through the community council process. Moderation actions are logged; persistent abuse can result in trust-score reduction or suspension.
