Public Traces: Following the Overlap
An independent research project and browser-based investigator for examining possible coordinated fake-review campaigns from public evidence.
Field notes
The investigator follows repeated co-reviewer overlap across products and product windows, beginning with a public review history and preserving incomplete coverage as part of the case. Its worked synthetic example opens 100 histories, reaches 164 reviewers, and finds 24 most repeated overlaps. The page also links to a 2023 archive result reporting 12.2% recurring patterns in verified five-star reviews, while explicitly noting that these are not confirmed fake reviews. Shared submissions and community datasets are described as later plans.
