When sentiment declines, Singularity digs 7+ levels deep to identify WHY — building hierarchical cause-effect chains from review text using temporal folding, semantic resonance mapping, and causal archaeology. Classifies shifts as STRUCTURAL (persistent, 4-8 week impact) vs EPISODIC (temporary, self-correcting) via topological analysis. Enterprise only.

Common questions about ReviewSignal.

Transaction data tells you what happened. Review sentiment tells you why and what’s coming next. When customers start complaining about food quality or wait times, that shows up in reviews 4–8 weeks before it hits same-store sales. ReviewSignal processes 260,000+ real reviews across 238 brands from Google Maps, Glassdoor, Trustpilot, and TripAdvisor — giving you a leading indicator that transaction data can’t.
Our signal pipeline uses 5 AI engines in sequence. Neural Core detects anomalies via Isolation Forest on 384-dim embeddings. Echo Engine models how sentiment propagates between locations and brands. If a chain shows >10% sentiment shift with engine confirmation from 50+ reviews, we issue BUY or SELL. Everything is deterministic and rule-based — zero LLM hallucination risk. Signals update daily at 08:00 UTC with email digest at 09:00.
Yes — that’s our Beacon Engine. It cross-correlates Glassdoor employee reviews with Google consumer reviews. When employees start rating leadership, compensation or culture poorly, consumer quality typically follows 2–3 months later. Our Enterprise reports flag this as a “HIDDEN RISK” with specific categories. We track 7,000+ employee reviews across 238 brands.
REST API with full docs. GET /api/v1/signals/latest returns today’s BUY/HOLD/SELL for all chains as JSON. Professional and Enterprise plans include real-time webhooks — we POST signal JSON to your endpoint the moment a signal fires. CSV/JSON bulk export available. Python SDK coming Q2 2026.
Goldman Sachs-quality institutional PDF with 19 interactive charts. Includes: executive summary with AI narrative, sentiment trend analysis, BUY/HOLD/SELL signals, competitive benchmarks, geographic heatmaps, anomaly detection, trend forecasting with 95% confidence intervals, and an Alpha Scorecard rating every chain across all engines. Enterprise gets 40+ pages with Singularity causal analysis and strategic recommendations.
3+ years of dense quarterly-granular sentiment data since January 2023 across 238 brands and 57,000+ locations. Enterprise clients get the full historical depth. This is enough to backtest sentiment models against 12+ quarterly earnings cycles. We add ~5,000 new reviews weekly from 4 sources.
QSR (McDonald’s, Starbucks, Chipotle, Subway), casual dining, grocery (Walmart, Whole Foods, Kroger), retail & fashion (Zara, H&M, Nike, Uniqlo), luxury (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany), beauty (Sephora, Ulta), hotels (Marriott, Hilton), banking (Chase, Wells Fargo), telecom (Verizon, T-Mobile), pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens) and more. 238 brands across 20 industries in 50+ countries.
Same day. Our scrapers run daily, Neural Core processes every new review within hours, and signals update at 08:00 UTC. When we detect a statistically significant shift, you get a BUY or SELL signal in your morning digest. Typical lead time vs quarterly earnings: 4–8 weeks.
Yes. GDPR compliant (EU data center in Frankfurt, legitimate interest basis). All data is publicly available consumer reviews — no PII scraping. Full audit trail, transparent methodology, reproducible signals. Enterprise plans include a compliance documentation package.
