The method behind the machine

Open-source company reputation intelligence

Every company leaves a public trail — reviews, complaints, court filings, regulator records, press coverage and its own replies. OpenWebReview sweeps that trail and compiles it into one sourced dossier you can read, verify and download. No account. No paywall.

Definition

What is open-source reputation intelligence?

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the discipline of building a picture of a subject entirely from information that is already public — no insider access, no leaked data, nothing behind a login.

Company reputation intelligence applies that discipline to a business: what customers say on review platforms, what employees report, what complainants file, what courts record, what journalists publish — and how the company answers back.

The problem was never a lack of information. It is that the information is scattered across dozens of sites, written in different formats, and impossible to hold in your head at once. OpenWebReview exists to do the sweeping, reading and citing for you — then hand you the receipts.

The stakes

Why it matters before you commit

Before you apply

An offer letter tells you what a company wants you to know. Employee reviews, complaint threads and court dockets tell you the rest.

Before you buy or sign

A polished website is marketing. Thousands of reviews, recurring complaints and regulatory records are evidence.

Before you trust

Reputation is built one page at a time across the web. Intelligence means reading all of those pages at once — and checking where each claim came from.

“A company's website is what it says about itself. Reputation intelligence is what everyone else says — with the sources attached.”

Inside a dossier

Four pillars of every report

Read the full guide →
01

Review aggregates

Scores and review volumes pulled from consumer and employee review platforms — not one site's opinion, but the shape of all of them together.

02

Language analysis

The words real customers reach for most often, weighted by frequency and sentiment. Vocabulary reveals what averages hide.

03

Legal record

Court filings and cases surfaced from public case databases, with court and year where the record provides them.

04

Press & replies

News coverage labelled by sentiment, side by side with the company's own public responses — both halves of the story.

Provenance

Every claim carries a citation

A dossier that cannot be checked is just an opinion with formatting. Each section of an OpenWebReview report links back to the page it came from — the review platform, the court record, the article — and the full source list sits at the bottom of every report.

Reports are automated summaries of public pages: they can be incomplete, out of date, or mistaken about which company a page refers to. The citations are the point — open them before you rely on anything.

  • Public complaint threads
  • Court and case databases
