💡 In simple words: Some people always give 1 star or always give 5 stars. WikiDeal gently balances those extremes so reviews stay fair and honest.

Judgment Balance Indicator

Innovation — WikiDeal R&D

Origin	🟢 Théo Bondolfi
Status	Prototype 1 — In testing

What is it?

The Judgment Balance Indicator is an auto-weighting algorithm that adjusts extreme ratings — such as systematic 1-star or 5-star scores — based on a rater's historical patterns. The goal is to encourage honest, calibrated feedback and to prevent gaming by chronic over-raters or habitual punishers, keeping the evaluation system trustworthy.

How it works on WikiDeal

Ratings are weighted with reference to each rater's track record, so consistently extreme behaviour carries less distorting weight. This supports fairer aggregate scores across the platform and complements Paid Feedback. The exact weighting model is documented progressively as the platform evolves.
