Audit library

Current estimates live in the Lookup. Full audits come later.

Adult Platform Audit is building full platform audits from the worker-side Platform Independence Index. The current library stage includes desktop review estimates, category analysis, evidence standards, and a repeatable scoring structure.

Use now

Looking for a specific platform?

Use the Platform Lookup to choose a category, select a business, and read the current worker-side independence estimate, score band, notes, and source links where available.

Current status

The library is active, but full audits are not final yet.

Current platform entries are desktop review estimates. A full audit should have stronger evidence labels, clearer confidence levels, correction paths, and dated source review.

  • Available now Platform Lookup, score bands, category guides, desktop estimates, and the 50-point scoring framework.
  • In progress Source review, score refinement, category comparison, and evidence labeling.
  • Coming later Full platform-specific audit pages with confidence levels, correction history, and publication caution.

What exists now

The current library is a working reference system.

The goal is to make platform structure easier to compare without pretending every estimate is a completed audit.

Available now

  • Platform Lookup: current desktop review estimates by category and platform.
  • Independence Index: the 50-point worker-control rubric.
  • Category guides: plain-language explanations of adult platform models.
  • Category comparison: side-by-side platform model differences.
  • Evidence standard: confirmed facts, structural inference, missing information, and testing needs.

Not final yet

  • Full audits: platform-specific audit pages are still being developed.
  • Live testing: payout reliability, support behavior, enforcement patterns, and traffic quality require more evidence.
  • Correction logs: formal correction history will appear with full audit pages.
  • Platform responses: right-of-response material can be reviewed when audits are published.
  • Final confidence labels: confidence levels should be attached before a page is treated as a full audit.

Audit pipeline

How a platform moves from estimate to audit.

A platform should move through the same process before APA treats a review as final.

Step 01

Category fit

Identify the platform model before scoring one company.

Step 02

Desktop review

Read public terms, help pages, payout information, feature pages, and policies.

Step 03

Score estimate

Apply the 50-point Platform Independence Index to visible structure.

Step 04

Evidence labels

Separate confirmed facts, structural inferences, missing information, and testing needs.

Step 05

Full audit

Publish only when score, sources, confidence level, and caution level are clear.

Audit standard

What will count as a full audit?

A full audit should review the platform as a work structure: what the worker controls, what the platform controls, what is uncertain, and what still requires testing.

Audit element Required before publication
Score summary Platform name, category, score, score band, audit status, review date, and confidence level.
Score breakdown Client ownership, payment control, pricing control, communication freedom, visibility control, rule transparency, discipline risk, brand portability, and work-method control.
Evidence labels Confirmed facts, structural inferences, missing information, and items requiring live testing.
Category fit A clear explanation of why the platform belongs in a specific category and whether it blends more than one model.
Key tradeoff A plain-language explanation of what the platform may provide and what control the worker may give up in exchange.
Publication caution Low, medium, or high caution depending on how much information is confirmed, inferred, missing, or untested.
Correction path A way for workers, readers, and platforms to submit factual corrections or updated policy information.

Desktop review can support preliminary structural analysis, but it should not be presented as live worker testing.

Help improve the library

Submit documents, corrections, or worker testing notes.

Adult Platform Audit accepts public policy links, factual corrections, screenshots, payout information, account notices, and worker testing notes. Submissions are reviewed as leads, not treated as automatic proof.

Useful submissions

Terms pages, help pages, payout rules, screenshots, policy links, worker testing notes, account restriction notices, takedown records, payment notices, and factual corrections.

Not automatic proof

Claims still need context, source clarity, date checking, and evidence labeling before they are used in a public audit.

Do not send illegal material, private client information, passwords, explicit images, or anything you do not have the right to share.

Bottom line

Use the Lookup first. Treat full audits as the next stage.

APA already has a working reference layer. The full audit library should build on that carefully, with dated sources, evidence labels, and correction paths.
