Methodology

Company Methodology

AGTRA separates a company or organization profile from local establishment records so users can distinguish between brand-level stance and location-level lived experience.

Entity Model

  • Company profile: brand, organization, chain, or campaign-level context.
  • Location profile: branch-specific evidence, reports, and local safety signals.
  • A location may link to one company, and a company may link to many locations.

Precedence Rules

  • Location-level verified evidence takes precedence for branch-level safety interpretation.
  • Company-level stance provides context and does not overwrite location-specific incidents.
  • Conflicting signals are displayed as mixed context rather than force-merged.
  • Unknown or low-confidence data remains explicitly labeled as unknown.

Moderation Policy

  • Company submissions and edits are reviewed before publication.
  • High-risk approvals and rejections require explicit decision reasoning.
  • Evidence links and reviewer notes are retained for auditability.
  • Questionable or incomplete claims may be re-queued until corroborated.
