# 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.

## Source basis

[S29](https://library.feedthejoe.com/graph-systems/primary-source-register/#S29), [S14](https://library.feedthejoe.com/graph-systems/primary-source-register/#S14), [S43](https://library.feedthejoe.com/graph-systems/primary-source-register/#S43). See Research/sources.json. Sources support the primitives or named technology. The organization, labels, actions, and acceptance contracts in this catalog are this library's design, not claimed provider requirements.
