RESEARCH REVIEW · Workflow idea

Flag a review for closer inspection without calling a customer dishonest on a score alone.

For work involving product reviews, duplicate indicators, and tentative authenticity concerns, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Organize reviews with possible duplication or authenticity signals for a moderation reviewer. A false flag can unfairly suppress genuine feedback, and reviews may contain personal details. Use permitted access, minimize reviewer information, verify evidence against the original, describe flags as uncertain, and require a person to approve any removal, account action, public response, or report.
