What is Double-blind review?

A review process where neither party sees the other's review until both have submitted, reducing retaliation or copycat reviews.

01Plain-English meaning

Double-blind reviews help agents give honest feedback after a referral connection ends. The first reviewer cannot shape the second review by revealing their rating early.

02Why it matters

  • It encourages more honest reputation signals.
  • It reduces pressure to mirror or punish the other agent's review.
  • It gives future agents better context when choosing referral partners.

03Example

After a referral ends, both agents submit reviews. Refera keeps them hidden until both are in, then unlocks them together.

04Frequently asked questions

Why use double-blind reviews for referrals?

Referral work depends on trust. Double-blind reviews make reputation feedback harder to game and less reactive.

When do reviews unlock?

They unlock after both agents have submitted their reviews for the ended connection.
