How Trusty checks

A lot to check. One useful answer.

Trusty confirms the business, reads what customers keep saying, checks the public details that matter, and gives you one clear opinion before money moves.

What Trusty reads

Stars are the surface. The pattern is underneath.

A high average can hide repeated complaints, a recent change, or a mismatch between the business you found and the business being reviewed. Trusty looks at the reviews, records, and details that matter for that decision. A mover, apartment complex, and roofer do not get the same checklist.

What keeps the call honest

Honest when the picture is thinIf there is not enough reliable information, or we are not sure we found the right business, Trusty says so instead of guessing.
Clear about what we checkedEvery read shows when it was checked, what shaped the call, and where to tell us if something needs another look.
