The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

Is the right to write a review proven by a purchase?

Realistic synthesis

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

Purchase verification offers a clue for filtering out fake reviews, but the experience of someone who used a gifted item is left out. Private sample verification reduces reviewers' exposure, but makes it hard to know whom the operator selected for checking. How should the platform set the eligibility to write anonymous reviews and the method of verification?

What the AI judgments chose

Reading the judgment record…

AI-generated editorial illustration for the Meridian library.

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Make real-transaction verification mandatory

    It verifies the root of the transaction, but it can exclude the experience of gifts and shared use.

  2. Option 2

    Allow reviews without verification

    It receives a wider range of experience, but readers carry more of the burden of telling false posts and manipulation from real ones.

  3. Option 3

    Run private verification on a sample

    It connects partial verification with participation, but it takes on the power to select and the misunderstanding that unverified posts are verified.

The situation as it stands

On the fictional platform, people who received the product as a gift use it as well as people who bought it themselves. Decision deadline: within 30 days, before the review overhaul.

2026 synthetic case · Verifying the credibility of anonymous reviews requires transaction records. The people, organizations, figures, and events are fictional.

  1. Premise 1On the fictional platform, people who received the product as a gift use it as well as people who bought it themselves.
  2. Premise 2Transaction verification gives a clue that can reduce fake reviews, but it drops posts by non-buyers who do have experience of using the product.
  3. Premise 3Private verification reduces the exposure of the writer, but it is hard to know whom the operator has verified.
