MATHEMATICAL TRANSPARENCY

How We Calculate Dick Points

No hidden algorithms. No pay-to-remove extortion. Just pure, objective evidence scoring based on documented financial losses, legal threats, contract breaches, and victim volume.

🛡️ Why Transparent Scoring Matters

"Other review platforms let businesses pay thousands of dollars a year to bury bad reviews, scrub complaints, and silence victims with legal takedown threats. Been Dicked operates in reverse: our score is strictly calculated from verified grievances, public filings, and documented losses."

📊 The 5 Objective Evidence Pillars

💸 1. Financial Retainer & Cash Losses

+15 to +85 PTS

The amount of unrefunded cash advances, retainers, deposits, or unfulfilled contract charges taken from consumers.

$10,000+ Lost: +85 PTS

$5,000 – $9,999: +60 PTS

$1,000 – $4,999: +35 PTS

Under $1,000: +15 PTS

🛑 2. Legal Threats, SLAPP Intimidation & Cease & Desists

+40 PTS PER THREAT

When a business uses attorney letters, threats of $50,000+ defamation suits, frivolous police reports, or mechanics' liens to bully victims into deleting truthful negative reviews. Each documented threat adds +40 points.

⚠️ 3. Chain of Custody & Evidence Tampering Breaches

+45 PTS

Particularly in forensics, investigation, and legal services: taking custody of computers, smartphones, drives, or sensitive evidence without providing a signed Evidence Intake or Chain of Custody form.

❌ 4. Unwritten Contracts, Phantom Clauses & Zero Receipts

+30 PTS

Accepting large cash amounts without written receipts, claiming verbal agreements, or inventing non-existent retroactive clauses (e.g. non-refundable retainer claims without prior disclosure).

📋 5. Grievance Volume & Severity Multipliers

+20 PTS / GRIEVANCE

Every verified 1-Star grievance archived on the site adds +20 PTS. Businesses with multiple documented victims accumulate cumulative scores across all verified complaints.
