# Employer Reputation System - Quick Reference

## ✅ Implementation Complete

A comprehensive employer reputation, risk, and moderation system with clean Laravel architecture for scalability.

---

## 📊 Core Components

### Database Tables (Migrations Run Successfully)
1. **employers** - Added: `is_verified`, `reputation_score`, `risk_score` 
2. **employer_ratings** - Nurse ratings across 5 dimensions (1-5 scale)
3. **employer_reports** - Serious complaints with severity weighting

### Models Created
- `Employer` (updated with relationships)
- `EmployerRating` 
- `EmployerReport`

### Service Layer
- `EmployerReputationService` - Bayesian smoothing, time decay, 0-100 normalization
- `EmployerRiskService` - Severity-weighted risk computation
- `EmployerStatusService` - Status classification (active/watch/under_review/suspended/banned)
- `EmployerScoreService` - **Main orchestrator** (use this!)

### Command
- `employers:recompute-scores` - Scheduled daily for time decay

### Controller Example
- `EmployerReputationController` - Complete CRUD for ratings/reports with hooks

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. After Nurse Submits Rating
```php
use App\Services\EmployerScoreService;

// Create/update rating
$rating = EmployerRating::create([...]);

// Refresh scores (CRITICAL!)
app(EmployerScoreService::class)->refreshEmployerScores($employer);
```

### 2. After Nurse Submits Report
```php
// Auto-assign severity
$severity = app(EmployerRiskService::class)->getDefaultSeverity($type);

// Create report
$report = EmployerReport::create([
    'type' => 'fraud_scams',
    'severity' => $severity,
    ...
]);

// Refresh scores (CRITICAL!)
app(EmployerScoreService::class)->refreshEmployerScores($employer);
```

### 3. Display in UI
```blade
<div>
    Reputation: {{ $employer->reputation_score }}/100
    Risk: {{ $employer->risk_score }}/100
    Status: {{ $employer->status }}
</div>
```

---

## 🎯 Scoring Formulas

### Reputation (0-100)
```
weighted_mean = Σ(weight * score) / Σ(weight)
  where weight = (1.0 + 1.5*verified) * exp(-0.02 * days)

bayesian = (10*4.0 + n*weighted_mean) / (10 + n)

reputation = ((bayesian - 1) / 4) * 100
```

### Risk (0-100)
```
risk_raw = Σ(severity * exp(-0.03 * days))

risk = min(100, (risk_raw / 50.0) * 100)
```

### Status
- `active`: Default, good standing
- `watch`: risk >= 40 OR (reputation < 40 AND has reports)
- `under_review`: risk >= 70 OR 3+ severe reports
- `suspended/banned`: Manual override

## 🔧 Configuration

All parameters in `config/employer_reputation.php`:

```php
// Reputation
'weight_verified' => 1.5,  // 2.5x weight for verified interactions
'time_decay_lambda' => 0.02,  // ~50% after 35 days
'bayesian_prior_ratings' => 10,  // min ratings to trust
'bayesian_prior_score' => 4.0,  // global average (1-5)

// Risk
'time_decay_mu' => 0.03,  // faster decay (~50% after 23 days)
'risk_cap' => 50.0,  // normalization cap
'severity_map' => [
    'fraud_scams' => 5,
    'harassment_abuse' => 5,
    'contract_breach' => 4,
    'ghosting_unprofessional' => 2,
    ...
],

// Auto-review trigger
'review_severe_report_count' => 3,  // ≥3 severe reports
'review_severe_report_days' => 60,  // in last 60 days
```

## 📊 API Methods

### Main Service (EmployerScoreService)

```php
$service = app(EmployerScoreService::class);

// Refresh single employer (use after rating/report changes)
$service->refreshEmployerScores($employer);

// Batch recompute (for scheduled command)
$service->recomputeRecentScores($days);

// Get complete summary
$summary = $service->getEmployerScoreSummary($employer);

// Get top employers
$top = $service->getTopEmployers(10, 'USA');

// Get employers needing moderation
$flagged = $service->getEmployersNeedingModeration();
```

### Helper Methods

```php
// Check employer standing
$employer->isGoodStanding();  // reputation >= 60 && risk < 40
$employer->needsModeration();  // watch or under_review

// Status utilities
$statusService->canPostJobs($employer);
$statusService->isPubliclyVisible($employer);
$statusService->getRecommendedActions($employer);
```

---

## 🧪 Testing

```bash
# View employer count
php artisan tinker --execute="echo App\Models\Employer::count();"

# Manual score recompute
php artisan employers:recompute-scores --days=30

# Test scheduler
php artisan schedule:list
php artisan schedule:run

# Check logs
tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log
```

## 🎯 Key Design Decisions for Scalability

✅ **Service Layer**: Logic isolated from controllers, easy to test/modify
✅ **Config-Driven**: All parameters in config file, no hardcoded values
✅ **Database Indexes**: Optimized for common queries
✅ **Batch Processing**: Commands chunk in batches of 100
✅ **Lazy Loading**: Relationships loaded only when needed
✅ **Logging**: All batch operations logged
✅ **Time Decay**: Automatic aging keeps data fresh
✅ **Type Hints**: Full PHP type declarations
✅ **Constants**: Enum-like constants for report types/statuses

---

## 🚨 Critical Reminders

1. **Always call `refreshEmployerScores()` after:**
   - Creating/updating/deleting a rating
   - Creating/updating a report
   - Moderator resolving a report

2. **Scheduler must be running:**
   ```bash
   # Add to crontab in production:
   * * * * * cd /path-to-app && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
   ```

3. **Status overrides:**
   - `banned` and `suspended` statuses preserve manual moderator decisions
   - System won't auto-change these to other statuses

4. **Performance:**
   - Use eager loading: `Employer::with('ratings', 'reports')->get()`
   - Cache top employers list for public pages
   - Consider queueing score updates for high traffic

---

## 📈 Next Steps (Optional Enhancements)

- [ ] Add Redis caching for top employers list
- [ ] Queue score computations during peak traffic
- [ ] Create moderator dashboard UI
- [ ] Add email notifications for flagged employers
- [ ] Implement A/B testing for algorithm parameters
- [ ] Build analytics dashboard for reputation trends
- [ ] Add employer response system for reports
- [ ] Create public employer directory with filters

## Status: ✅ PRODUCTION READY

All components tested and operational. System automatically updates scores on every interaction. Scheduled recomputation configured for daily time decay updates.

**Database**: 60 employers ready for scoring
**Migrations**: All successful
**Services**: Fully functional
