The Problem
ARC systems too often run on vibes and crossed fingers
Indie authors frequently send advance copies to readers with little real accountability. Reviews are missed, trust erodes, and there is often no clear way to tell who is reliable and who is just collecting free books.
That leaves authors wasting time, readers with no transparent reputation, and the whole process feeling like a lottery with extra paperwork.
The Solution
A platform built around trust and accountability
Reputation scoring for reader reliability
Verification tiers to strengthen trust
Automated penalties for missed obligations
Clear visibility into campaign status and outcomes
