    Treat an EyeQ answer as a brief, not a verdict. Single mode is one engine’s take — useful, but one viewpoint. Duel shows independent answers so you can judge the evidence; EyeQ does not pick a winner. Consensus finds overlap across engines, which reduces blind spots but is not proof. Separate claims with named sources from inference, and check the sources yourself before you act.

  • Trust Scores & Grades · 3 min readPopularHow trust scores are calculatedRead articleHide details

    Trust scores (the Signal Trust Score, or STS) are built by combining several layers: we analyze terms and conditions, refund rules, billing and privacy policies; we collect and verify user experiences and documented outcomes; we study solutions users test and their results; and we examine public and legal context. The score reflects how closely real outcomes align with stated rules and expectations. It updates continuously as policies and outcomes change. We do not rely on self-reported business data or review volume.

  • Trust Scores & Grades · 2 min readPopularWhat is the Signal Trust Score (STS)?Read articleHide details

    The Signal Trust Score (STS) is a number from 0 to 10 that reflects how consistently a company treats users fairly over time. It is not a popularity score. It is behavior-based and updates as new information appears. Companies cannot pay to change it; improvement comes only from better real-world behavior, clearer policies, and more consistent outcomes. The letter grade (A–F) is derived from the STS.
