Our Methodology

The goal of our platform is to provide accessible information about places, neighborhoods, and regions and to offer users an additional point of reference.

The ratings, analyses, scores, and visualizations displayed on the platform are based on a combination of different data sources.

These may include:

  • user-generated reviews and experiences
  • publicly available data and information
  • editorial content
  • automated analyses
  • algorithmic evaluation of datasets

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Certain content on the platform may be generated or assisted by automated systems or artificial intelligence. This may include articles, descriptions, summaries, or initial analytical content.

These systems rely on publicly available information and general statistical or textual data sources available on the internet.

Automatically generated content serves informational purposes only and may be complemented or corrected by user experiences.

Weighting of User Reviews

User reviews based on personal experience represent a central component of the platform.

User-generated content is generally weighted significantly higher than automatically generated content.

As the density of authentic user reviews increases, the influence of automated content may be reduced or removed.

Our long-term goal is for the platform to be primarily shaped by real user experiences.

Algorithmic Processing

Multiple geographically close reviews may be aggregated and analyzed using a proprietary algorithm.

Individual reviews may be weighted differently based on several factors, including:

  • geographic proximity
  • temporal relevance
  • consistency with other reviews
  • statistical anomalies
  • confidence in the authenticity of a review

As a result, certain reviews may have a stronger or weaker influence on aggregated results.

Integrity Protection

To maintain the integrity of the platform, technical systems may be used to detect unusual review patterns.

These may include:

  • unusually high review frequency
  • coordinated review activity
  • automated interactions
  • multiple accounts

In such cases, reviews may be examined, adjusted, or excluded from aggregated results.
