Where do the ratings come from?
Every rating shows its source and when it was read: members' own reviews, the ratings members saved from sites like Glassdoor, Yelp or Trustpilot, and signals from permitted sources.

What you can do
- Where each number came from Every signal keeps its source, the item it came from, and when it was read.
- An aggregate you can check The inputs and the method are listed; an editor leaves a source out only with the reason shown.
- Changes on the record Replaced and withdrawn signals stay in the history, beside every revision of the aggregate.
- Summaries by people Written or approved by an editor, citing the signals they rest on, and never carrying a rating.
Questions
4 questions this site answers about itself. Each one has its own page, so it can be linked and found on its own.
Can I write a review?
Yes, as any signed-in OpenVibe member: 1 to 5 stars and how you know the place (an employee, a tenant, a customer). Members' reviews are shown as theirs, never mixed into the sources' aggregate.
What are official records?
What a public body published: CFPB complaint counts for companies, NYC Health inspections for restaurants and NYC HPD's open housing violations for apartment buildings, each linked to its source.
Does Reviews copy other sites' reviews?
No. /everywhere opens Glassdoor, Yelp, the BBB, Trustpilot, Google Maps and others for a name, each in its own tab; their reviews stay there.
