review
Let an agent explain reviews and their kinds, relay standards for critical, academic, user and governmental reviews from journalism, scholarship and consumer sources, describe reliability issues such as fake reviews with attribution, and distinguish reviews from ratings, summaries, audits and peer review.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain reviews and their kinds, relay standards for critical, academic, user and governmental reviews from journalism, scholarship and consumer sources, describe reliability issues such as fake reviews with attribution, and distinguish reviews from ratings, summaries, audits and peer review.
An evaluation of a work, product, service, performance or body of research, written or recorded for others, in forms from critical reviews in journalism and academia through user reviews on platforms, governmental reviews of policy and programmes, reproducibility reports that assess whether research findings can be replicated, to video formats such as haul videos and platform scores such as the Listen Score for podcasts; reviews inform choices and are shaped by expertise, incentives and platform design.
What it is for: Evaluating works and informing others.
It can be explain kinds; relay standards; describe reliability issues; distinguish related evaluations.

Evaluation of a work or product for others
Critical reviews, user reviews, governmental reviews, reproducibility reports, haul videos, Listen Score

- How should journalism and scholarship sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming formats and a platform metric; should they be split off?
