Feature ideas

- 2Real-user highlightsSurfaces the most believable reviews first.
- 3Seller history analysisTracks sudden rating spikes over time.
First-week milestone
A web page where someone pastes 20 reviews and gets a per-review trust score plus a one-line explanation.
Distribution playbook
- Reddit threads in r/AmazonReviews, r/BuyItForLife, r/Frugal — show before/after on viral fake-review posts.
- TikTok carousel: 'Top 5 fake reviews this tool caught on Amazon last week.'
- Free paste-and-score wedge; paid tier for bulk pasted reviews and saved sellers.
Guardrails & risks
- Frame scores as 'signal', never a verdict — a wrong call on a real seller is a legal headache.
- Don't scrape Amazon directly; let users paste reviews or use their official API where it exists.
- Show the reasoning behind every score so users can override and trust the tool.
Validation signal
Watch repeat-paste rate in week one — if users come back to check a second product, the wedge works.
Trust Factor
People desperately want reliable opinions online.
