ComplaintCensus

The harm index

Every complaint our classifier reads is graded 1–3 for severity: a minor annoyance, a significant failure, or severe harm — money lost, an essential service cut off, or a problem left unresolved for months. Ranked below by the share of a company’s complaints that reached the severe grade (minimum 30 classified complaints). This measures how bad the reported problems were, not how many there were.

Severity is assigned by an automated reader from the review text alone and is not a legal or financial assessment. A high share reflects the mix of problems reviewers described, not a judgment about the company’s conduct.
