A review dispute is a process or mechanism by which a business can challenge or contest a review that has been left on Will They Pay for ratings under 3 stars. It is a feature designed to address concerns or disagreements businesses may have with specific reviews, especially those that they believe are inaccurate, unfair, or do not represent a genuine business transaction experience

  • Initiation: 

When a business receives a review that they believe is problematic, they can initiate a review dispute. This is typically done through the platform's interface. 

  • Criteria for Dispute: 

Businesses can dispute reviews based on certain criteria. For example, they might dispute a review if they believe it contains false information, is unrelated to a genuine business transaction, or violates the platform's review guidelines.

  • Submission of Evidence: 

The disputing party usually needs to provide evidence or documentation to support their dispute. This evidence can include invoices, communication records, or any other relevant information that demonstrates the accuracy or inaccuracy of the review

  • Review Investigation: 

The platform's support or moderation team will then review the dispute and the evidence submitted. They will assess whether the review in question violates the platform's policies and guidelines. 

  • Decision and Resolution: 

Based on the review investigation, the platform will make a decision on whether to uphold or reject the review. This decision aims to be impartial and focused on maintaining the integrity and credibility of the review platform. 

  • Communication: 

Both the reviewer and the business involved in the dispute are typically notified of the decision. Clear communication is essential to maintain transparency in the process

It's important to note that the ability to dispute reviews is often subject to specific conditions and guidelines outlined by the review platform. Additionally, the intention is usually not to censor negative reviews but to ensure that reviews are fair, accurate, and comply with the platform's policies.

The aim of the review dispute process is to create a balanced and trustworthy space for reviews, allowing genuine customer feedback while also giving businesses a way to address and rectify inaccuracies.

Key tenets of our culture include:

Anti-blame: We believe in addressing issues without assigning blame. We recognise that challenges often arise unintentionally and strive to find solutions collaboratively.

Safe space: We provide a platform for impartial and transparent reviews, creating a safe environment for businesses to share their experiences openly.

Conversation: We encourage dialogue and active participation from both parties involved in a transaction. A relationship is a two-way street, and we value the exchange of feedback.

Resolve: We understand that reviews are not final judgments but rather opportunities for growth and improvement. We encourage businesses to address issues proactively and work towards resolution.

It’s not all he said, she said, they did. This is not helpful.

Our reviews are formulated around four tried and tested methods for analysing projects, tasks or situations 

What Went Well (Three W’s): This step focuses on identifying the positive aspects and successes within a project or situation. By recognising achievements first, we set the stage for constructive feedback.

Even Better If (EBIs): This method allows reviewers to express their thoughts in a solution-focused manner. It encourages suggestions for improvement rather than mere criticism.

The Five Whys: This technique delves into the root causes of issues by asking "why" multiple times. It prompts deeper reflection and provides insights for addressing underlying problems.

Respond & Resolve: Once a review is posted, we encourage businesses to respond openly and constructively. By acknowledging feedback and working towards resolution, businesses can foster trust and improve their practices.

By integrating these methods into our platform, we aim to promote transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement in business transactions. Through open dialogue and collaborative problem-solving, we believe businesses can achieve greater success and build stronger relationships within their communities.
