Data Sources.
AIREAPER triangulates risk signals from multiple independent sources. We never rely on a single data point.
We do not disclose our scoring model or algorithmic weights. What we do disclose is where our data comes from and how reliable we consider each source.

A note on community sources
AIREAPER also monitors community signals — employee forums, insider reports, and professional networks. These are never treated as verified facts. They are displayed as "rumor heat" or "employee chatter" and carry lower confidence weights in our risk model. We separate what is confirmed, what is signaled, and what is speculated.
