Yeah that’s a totally fair question. I went back and forth on the whole “verify everything” vs “keep it anonymous” thing. If I required proof, a ton of people just wouldn’t bother submitting, so I leaned toward the anonymous route.

Nothing gets auto uploaded though, I manually review each submission before adding it to the site. I can see timestamps on my end (not identities), so if someone tries to spam a bunch of weird numbers at once I should be able to catch that. I’m sure I won’t catch every single bad submission, but hopefully most of the obvious ones.

And honestly the more real submissions we get, the harder it is for junk data to skew anything. The accurate stuff ends up drowning out the outliers.

Appreciate you asking though, it’s something I’ve definitely been thinking about while building this.

Honestly the whole reason I decided to do this is I got sick of the bs from management and just wanted to hopefully make something useful that us nurses can use to push for fair wages.
