Global standard user reviews & ratings

Eliminating Fake and Spoofing and Transparency & Fairness are not the only standard user reviews and ratings.
There is also a standard format for user reviews.
In terms of reviews from users, not only good points but also issues, problems, and improvements are heard.

No product is 100% satisfied by consumers and IT software users.
There are various products and services in the market, such as functionality, services, and prices. When making purchase decisions, reviews are important information, but review content that lists only good points is rather skeptical.
World standard user reviews do not include posts where reviewers do not describe the issue.

Preceding world B2C review example

UK ReevooOperate a fair review page that completely eliminates harassment
● Operates review and evaluation pages for sites in 60 countries, 30 languages and more than 200 multinational companies, mainly in Europe.

● Provide a USG system that allows consumers to create content for consumers on their website.

● Resolves traditional reviews and assessment issues such as fake, incentives, distrust of consumers against impersonation and laws and regulations.

● The basic form of a new independent review that will motivate users to purchase is to release only “actually saying” from purchasers, and eliminate fake thoroughly.

Preceding world B2B review example

US TrustRadiusPortal site of IT review spreading in all the countries of the world
● Common to all rating companies (more than 5 US companies) is the elimination of “Fake” and “Impersonation” and transparent and fair reviews.

● Business models such as lead generation, custom report sales, and diversion of evaluations on the publisher's site are similar.

● A large number of models advocated the neutrality of each company, without advertising, and without bias.

● Unlike Japan, many companies focus on quality without selling lead or paid placements.
