- and
- providing the overall review of the product, performance, or service to a consumer to thereby assist the consumer in making a decision associated with the evaluated product, performance, or service.
At least one computer accessible medium storing instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations for generating and providing one or more evaluations to a consumer to aid in a decision making process, the operations comprising:
- receiving evaluation request data associated with evaluation of at least one of a product, performance, or service;
- transmitting an evaluation notification to a set of reviewers based on the evaluation request data;
- receiving evaluation data based on one or more evaluations completed by the set of reviewers;

- receive evaluation request data from a requesting client, the evaluation request data associated with evaluation of at least one of a product, performance, or service;
- transmit an evaluation notification to a set of registered reviewers based on the evaluation request data;
- receive evaluation data based on one or more evaluations completed by the set of reviewers;
- analyze the evaluation data to thereby generate an overall review of the product, performance, or service;
- and
- provide the overall review of the product, performance, or service to the one or more consumer to thereby assist the one or more consumers in making a decision associated with the evaluated product, performance, or service.
