SilentCritique Public Report Privacy

The private report sharing route keeps token-gated reports out of search, which is the right privacy stance and a useful boundary for the new public verdict product.

Evidence reviewed

Reports are noindex

The public report route returns robots index false for token-gated reports.

Share token is validated server-side

Report data loading checks a public report token before reading the session and notes.

Robots disallows report routes

The robots policy includes /report/ in private disallow rules.

Test setup

  • Reviewed public report metadata behavior.
  • Checked report access token validation path.
  • Compared report privacy with sitemap and robots policy.

Strengths

  • Private session output is not being used as SEO inventory.
  • Token validation happens before report data is returned.
  • This creates a clean separation point for a new public verdict model.

Failure modes

  • Reusing /report/[id] for verdict SEO would create privacy risk.
  • A public verdict promotion flow needs explicit human review before indexing.
  • The current report component says confidential report, which does not match public certification language.

What would improve the score

  • Keep /report private and noindex.
  • Add /verdicts as a separate public model.
  • Require publish status before any verdict is included in the sitemap.

Limitations

  • This review did not inspect deployed headers.
  • This is a code-level calibration verdict, not a penetration test.

Visible dissent

  • The SEO reviewer wanted indexable reports for growth; the privacy reviewer rejected that as the wrong tradeoff.
  • The product reviewer recommended a separate verdict route rather than mutating the report route.

Right of reply

This verdict captures a product boundary: public verdicts should not weaken private report access.

Methodology matters

Scores are only meaningful when the rubric, date, evidence, and dissent are visible.
