WHERE IT COMES FROM
Two public review feeds
Both stores publish reviews without credentials or an agreement. Friction read 9,994 of them in its last scan.
How Friction finds what people struggle with
Ten thousand public reviews a week, filtered in code, grouped by what repeats, and quoted. Every number here is calculated; almost nothing is written.
Check the arithmeticWHAT GETS THROWN AWAY
Ten thousand in, a hundred out
Screened for age, for length and by the crisis check, then for a complaint, then capped at 150. All of it code, before any model sees anything.
WHAT THE MODEL DOES
It groups, and it quotes
It puts reviews describing the same struggle together and copies a short quote from each. It never produces a score, a rank or a priority.
THE ONE WRITTEN FIELD
One sentence is written
Every value is copied from a review or calculated in TypeScript, except the four lenses and 3 sentences. Those carry a badge and a date.
What the model does, and never does
The model does
The model never
- group reviews describing the same struggle
- copy a short verbatim quote from each
- produces a score
- produces a rank
- produces a priority
Every quote is checked character by character against the review it came from.
