About this tool
You know the pattern. Applications that go nowhere. Interviews where they've already decided. Promotions that skip over you. Everyone knows, but no one can prove it. A Documentation Collective turns whispered knowledge into courtroom evidence. Systematic collection. Verified reports.
How to do it
Get legal backing
Defamation law varies by country. Evidence standards matter. Do NOT proceed without a lawyer reviewing your approach.
Design the intake
What information do you need? Documentation requirements? How do you protect reporter confidentiality?
Train verifiers
Follow-up interviews. Document review. Pattern checking. Not to doubt reports, to build airtight cases.
Build the database
Secure storage. Consistent categorisation. Analysis capability. Privacy protection.
Analyse patterns
Single incidents might be coincidence. Patterns are evidence. Look for employers with multiple reports.
Use strategically
Private guidance for job seekers. Pressure campaigns on repeat offenders. Legal cases where patterns are clear.
Before you start
- Legal backing (non-negotiable)
- Verification capacity
- Secure data storage
Implementation guidance
Starting point
- Legal review of all processes
- Systematic intake with documentation requirements
- Verification for every entry
- Pattern analysis capability
- Strategic use for advocacy and legal action
- Secure storage with access controls
Building on it
- Legal consultation completed
- Basic intake process
- Some verification
- Initial pattern analysis
Advanced practice
- No legal backing
- Unverified claims published
- Public accusations without evidence
Unverified accusations invite defamation lawsuits that destroy the collective and discredit the community. Public naming without evidence lets the accused claim victimhood. Failed legal cases set bad precedent for future discrimination claims.
