The Confidence Inputs
A public link, receipt, listing, or image makes it easier to trust and easier to review.
Self-observed and official notices usually score better than vague hearsay.
Rates and prices decay fast. Recent observations carry more weight.
City, neighborhood, and route information are essential for publishable data.
Good history, confirmations, and low rejection rates improve how quickly your data clears.
If your report matches nearby recent reports, it is easier to verify automatically.
What Gets Sent To Review
These affect fraud risk and often need human eyes before publication.
Health prices can be sensitive, inconsistent, or outdated quickly.
Fresh market coverage needs a trust baseline before public release.
Anything that moves roughly 20% or more from baseline gets looked at first.
Review Outcomes
| Decision | What happens | Contributor impact |
|---|---|---|
| Approved | Contribution is confirmed, confidence is stored, and the domain table is published. | Trust improves and confirmation bonuses can be applied. |
| Rejected | The raw submission stays in history but never powers public feeds. | Trust can drop if the record was clearly wrong or misleading. |
| Hold / needs follow-up | The reviewer waits for more context, proof, or corroboration. | No public publication yet. |
What Reviewers Look For
- Does the report clearly identify what was observed?
- Is the timing recent enough for the category?
- Does the proof link actually support the claim?
- Is the value plausible relative to local baselines?
- Would a buyer trust this record in a dashboard or export?
AfroPoints is not trying to be a social feed. It is trying to become trusted African market infrastructure. That means quality beats volume.
