Various problems here.

1) They are good developers, but they are employees. They want a fixed salary, a calm life, and just to be told what to work on not have to take ownership of something. Being a dev is different then being a CTO/Co-Founder. We've tried building startups internally, doesn't work out well, always last priority.

2) The developers are good, really good actually, but are they S-tier, 10x devs, no. And I strongly believe you need that.

how does a web-of-trust work?

Had never seen this before, a documented and logical approach to evaluating information. Wonder if a review platform could be made where they summarize all of the review information using the CRAAP filter.

The best way I have found to evaluate online reviews has been to focus on the 2-3 star ratings that have actual rationale and logic behind their negative review.

Then evaluate if the reason that the reviewer did not enjoy the product, service, or experience is a deal-breaker for me or if it’s a tradeoff that I can live with

You see, what might be a turn-off for someone else might actually a plus for me.

The thing is that this just covers a subsection of online purchases, you can't use it to value a hotel for example right?

The concept though is 1000% valid, we need a review platform that somewhat guarantees, verifies and vets all reviews that it displays.

Maybe, instead of anybody publishing a review, it's this central entity that has a due diligence team that crafts a review. And instead of making money from the affiliate links to the products sites, they make money from people paying to read the verified reviews.
