Every consumer-services dispute — BBB, state AG, small-claims, chargeback, insurance, licensing board, Google/Yelp review — has been adjudicated without neutral evidence. Authyr is the neutral evidence. Signed at the source, immutable forever, court-admissible, verifiable by every forum.
For lawyers, doctors, contractors, auto, beauty, and financial practices: lower fear-tax (liability + legal + chargeback), win more disputes, hand the BBB / your insurer / your lawyer a silver-platter timeline whenever something escalates.
Existing review platforms profit from review volume regardless of authenticity. The economics will not improve until someone builds the layer beneath them.
Yelp and Google reviews go public the moment they post. The reviewer might never have been a customer. The business has no economic mechanism to resolve the complaint before the public sees it. Existing review CRMs (Birdeye, Podium) blast unverified CSV lists and get filtered as spam by Google's algorithm. Detection tools (Reality Defender, GPTZero) play whack-a-mole against fabricators who iterate faster than any classifier. Nobody wins except the platforms collecting ad revenue.
Multi-signal proof that the reviewer is a real customer of the business. A 30-day private window where the owner can resolve the issue before the review goes public. An immutable record afterward that the owner cannot suppress and the reviewer cannot revise. A portable cryptographic receipt the business displays on its own website. Affirmation, not censorship — Authyr attests, never removes.
Authyr is the third-party signed-evidence layer underneath all of them. The brand phrase: the technical embodiment of arbitration.
Five forums × dozens of disputes per practice per year × every consumer-services industry on earth. The same primitive resolves all of them.
Every service business on earth pays a yearly "in case something goes wrong" tax. It's the universal services-buyer hook — better than review lift, better than search visibility.
Conservative range per practice. Varies by vertical.
Conservative single-practice savings. Every line above moves when evidence is signed at the source.
Every other review platform on the internet — Yelp, Google, BBB, Trustpilot, Birdeye — sends a bad review public the moment it's submitted. We don't. A verified review enters a 30-day private window where only you and the customer can see it. You have a month to make it right. After 30 days, whatever the review reads becomes the public record — immutable, owner-suppression-proof, with a transparent resolution badge.
Multi-signal proof completes. You receive immediate notification with full content and the customer's contact. The public record shows nothing.
Make it right. Refund, redo, comp, sincere apology. The customer can withdraw or update voluntarily — you cannot.
Whatever the review reads is now the public record. Cryptographically sealed, immutable. No owner-delete. No reviewer revisions.
"✓ Resolved within window," "Owner engaged · Issue unresolved," or "Owner did not respond." The badge carries strong signal both ways.

Each signal is patent-clean against prior art (Chen US 9,842,340) because none operates on real-time device-location services at the moment of submission. Two or more signals trigger a verified attestation; three or more produce the top tier.
Stripe / Square / Toast / Clover webhook confirms the card was swiped at the business's POS at a specific moment. Pulled from the processor, not the customer's phone.
Customer photographs the receipt. EXIF GPS, capture timestamp, and OCR'd business name + transaction ID triangulate. Post-hoc, never real-time location-services.
Counter-mounted or table-side cryptographic token. RF/visual proximity at a known moment — different signal domain from device location.
The receipt prints a single-use signed code. Redeemed once to begin a verified review. Cryptographic chain, no device telemetry needed.
Scheduled-appointment record from the business's calendar (Calendly, Acuity, Clio, Dentrix, etc.). Standard byproduct of professional-services ops.
Multiple photos with coherent timestamps and locations inside the business. Reverse-image-searchable provenance hardens the proof further.
Another verified Authyr customer present at the same time corroborates the reviewer. Network proof — gameable only if the network itself is compromised.
Authyr signs each review cryptographically. Any partner platform — Google, Yelp, BBB, Healthgrades, Avvo, your own website — can independently verify the receipt. The signature is the trust; Authyr is the issuer, not the gatekeeper.
Three or more independent signals. Flagship for legal, medical, financial.
Two independent signals. Default for home services, auto, beauty.
One verification signal. Lighter-weight but still better than the default.
What every existing review platform produces. Shown for contrast.
Authyr ships on three surfaces. Each is monetizable on its own. Together they form the moat — Birdeye can copy a SaaS, but not a verification primitive backed by a public network and a patent thesis.
The operator-facing product. Flat-monthly. Sits next to your practice-management or operations system. Configured per vertical with the right verification signals on by default.
A consumer-facing destination at authyr.com. Every business gets a public profile showing tier-rated review history, resolution rate, and tenure on the network. Embeddable badge for your own surfaces.
For practice-management tools, news organizations, insurance carriers, and platforms that need verified-customer or verified-content attestation as a service. C2PA-interoperable.
The wedge is wherever a single fake or unresolved review costs $20K to $100K+ in lifetime value. The 30-day window is most valuable there. Each vertical configures the signal mix that fits its workflow.
PI firms spend $20-100K/mo on ads. Each verified review is worth multiple cases.
Emotional clients. The 30-day window saves relationships before they hit Avvo.
HIPAA-clean dataflow. Service-recovery window is uniquely valuable in healthcare.
Damage-claim defense + verified testimonials beat Angi's anonymous reviews.
Payment + receipt + photo are readily available. Damage-claim defense is gold.
Verified testimonials beat anonymous Yelp for booking conversion. Photos help.
Regulatory comfort with verified-customer attestation. 2027 vertical.
No HIPAA friction. Highest review-response rate of any vertical modeled.

Move the sliders. The math updates live. Conservative defaults — for high-LTV services, the real damage is usually worse.
The 30-day window doesn't have to save every review — it only has to save one a year to pay for itself many times over. For PI law and plastic surgery, even one resolved review per quarter dwarfs the annual cost.
Every other authenticity company in 2026 is framed as a watchdog. That makes them politically un-adoptable for news organizations, government, and roughly half of every consumer audience. We chose differently on purpose.
Reality Defender, Sensity, Hive Moderation, GPTZero. Default action is content removal. Useful in narrow contexts but politically toxic at scale — adoption is bounded by which side of the culture war the customer belongs to. The classifier treadmill never ends because fabricators iterate faster than the models.
We never decide what is misinformation. We give a cryptographic receipt for content that meets our verification bar. Content that doesn't meet the bar gets a transparent label, not a takedown. Same trust mechanic as the immutable review record — affirmation through provenance, not gatekeeping. News orgs, government, both political tribes — all can adopt without political risk.
We do NOT push verification metadata into Google, Yelp, or any third-party review platform. Those platforms don't accept third-party data on review submissions, and any vendor claiming otherwise is misrepresenting the technical reality.
We do NOT auto-post reviews to Google, Yelp, or Facebook on behalf of a customer. The customer always writes on their own device, signed into their own account. Anyone promising "auto-post to all channels" is overpromising.
We do NOT give business owners the ability to suppress or delete a verified review after the 30-day window closes. The whole product is built on the immutability promise. If we broke it, the trust signal would collapse.
What we DO is verify the customer, provide a 30-day private resolution window, post an immutable record with a resolution badge, sign each record cryptographically so any platform can independently verify it, and give the business a portable receipt to display on every surface they control.
We're picking 10 charter practices across legal, medical, and home services. Six months free in exchange for honest feedback and the right to publish results. Lifetime 50% off after.
Apply for a slot →The internet has identity (Stripe Identity), payments (Stripe), messaging (Twilio), and bank linkage (Plaid). The trust layer no one has built is verified-customer evidence — signed proof that this reviewer was actually a real customer of this business, anchored in payments, receipts, and physical artifacts rather than gameable location data. Authyr is that layer. Reviews are where we start. Arbitration — BBB, state AG, insurance, chargeback, court — is where it lands.
No. That's the whole product. The owner has 30 days to resolve the underlying complaint with the customer before the review goes public. After that, the record is immutable — cryptographically sealed, no owner-delete, no reviewer revisions. The owner's only power is to resolve the situation with the customer; if they can't, the review posts with a transparent "issue unresolved" badge.
Those tools are review CRMs. They blast unverified CSV lists and pray. Google's spam filter increasingly throws their requests away. They have no verification primitive, no 30-day window, no immutable record, no portable receipt. We're the layer beneath them — and the 30-day window plus the immutability promise create a moat they cannot replicate without rebuilding from scratch.
Authyr's architecture was deliberately designed around Chen US 9,842,340 — the existing patent that covers real-time GPS verification at moment of review submission. Our stack uses post-hoc, non-location-service signals (payment trails, receipt EXIF, NFC taps, POS tokens, photo provenance, booking confirmations, witness corroboration). None of these read on Chen. The 30-day mitigation window is covered by our own PPA #7, filed under the Frequentor LLC patent series.
Yes — that's a primary value. Yelp and Google jealously guard review data, so businesses can only embed screenshots with attribution disclaimers. Authyr-verified reviews are signed at issuance and the signature can be independently verified by any third party. You embed our widget; the trust travels with the badge.
HIPAA Business Associate Agreement on all medical-vertical plans. State-bar review-rule compliance packs for the legal vertical (50-state rule enforcement at the prompt level). CMS audit trail format for healthcare verticals where required. SOC 2 Type II on the 2027 roadmap.
Every detection company in this space is framed as a content moderator. That framing puts them firmly inside the culture war and bounds their addressable market. Authyr's default action is affirmation — we attest that real content is real and label unverifiable content rather than removing it. News organizations, government, platforms, and both political tribes can all adopt without political risk because we never take a position on what is "true," only on what is verifiable.
Frequentor is the hospitality network with sensor-fused Tier S verification (radar + thermal + ESP32 + multi-signal). Authyr is the services + general-content surface with Tier A/B/C multi-signal verification. Same parent company (Frequentor LLC d/b/a Authyr). Different verticals — no cannibalization. Authyr inherits the verification IP and the affirmation framing. Frequentor stays focused on hospitality.
