AEGISAEGISConsumer Alert & Verification
Trust & moderation policy

What you see on AEGIS, and how it got here.

AEGIS is advisory, not accusatory. This page is generated from the same JSON the public API serves at /api/v1/public/trust-policy — so what you read here is exactly the model the system enforces.

AEGIS·Consumer Alert and Verification System·v1

How content is trusted

Three trust lanes — clearly labelled

Every alert, every verification result, and every report is tagged with one of these lanes. We never blur them together.

Official sources

Agency data ingested for awareness (e.g. FDA, CSA, GSA / Ghana Standards Authority). Highest structural trust for 'what regulators published' — not a substitute for your own due diligence.

fda_ghgsa_ghcsa_ghingested official alerts

Approved AEGIS community alerts

User-originated content only after: Submission → Moderation review → Report approval AND alert approval (or publish workflow).

Pending reports / anonymous tips

Inbox / queue only. Lower default trust, stricter server limits, never exposed to consumers until a moderator approves the relevant publish/flag path.

Submission flow

How a report becomes a public alert

No user-submitted content reaches the public surface until a moderator approves it via this exact path.

  1. Step 1

    Submission

  2. Step 2

    Moderation Review

  3. Step 3

    Approval

  4. Step 4

    Publish Or Add To Approved Flagged List

Submission kinds

Anonymous tips vs verified reports

We accept both, but they have different default trust and different limits.

Anonymous Tip

  • Requires Captcha When Configured
  • Stricter Rate Limits
  • Does Not Create Auto Risk Alerts

Verified Report

  • Requires Authenticated User
  • Higher Trust Than Anonymous
