G12 — Reputation, review, and corroboration graph
Question
Who said what about which entity, with what provenance and independence?
Nodes
Reviewer; Review; Reviewed entity; Publisher; Disclosure; Source owner
Relationship sketch
- review → exact subject
- statement → publisher
- publisher → ownership/disclosure record
Evidence inputs
Actual reviews and dates, subject matching, publication rights, disclosed sponsorship, source lineage.
Implementation
Preserve review context and scales. Record whether a source is owned, paid, syndicated, or independently earned; never infer independence from different domain names alone.
Acceptance checks
- Review subject is not confused with another product/business
- Syndicated copies share a provenance origin
- Feature eligibility is checked separately from review authenticity
Do not infer
Authentic self-hosted testimonials do not automatically qualify for LocalBusiness/Organization review stars.
Publication boundary
Approved review evidence public; unnecessary reviewer data excluded.
