Conduct Patterns Registry (Institutional Data Licensing)

A licensed research and reporting service that conducts systematic FOIA requests, compiles public disciplinary records, and synthesizes institutional conduct patterns (terminations, investigations, policy enforcement trends) into standardized institutional risk profiles. Academics query anonymously; institutions license the data to HR/legal teams for benchmarking. The service acts as a licensed intermediary between public records and users, similar to how Equifax aggregates credit data.

SERVICE

32 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates rumor-based decision-making by centralizing fragmented public records into one searchable, comparable format. Institutions get standardized metrics to improve policies; candidates get objective data. Legally defensible because it only aggregates public records already available via FOIA.

Target Audience

Academics/postdocs evaluating offers (pay-per-report); institutions benchmarking conduct policies and risk (annual institutional licenses)

Key Features

  • Standardized institutional conduct risk profiles (termination rates by category, investigation timelines, policy consistency)
  • Searchable database of public disciplinary actions indexed by institution, department, and conduct type
  • Anonymized candidate query tool (search institution without revealing identity)
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

FOIA request management software (MuckRock API or custom system) PostgreSQL database for conduct records React/Node.js for candidate query tool and institutional dashboard Stripe for payment processing

Original Problem

Academics need reliable information about career risk factors before accepting positions

Academics and job candidates lack transparent, centralized access to information about institutional patterns of firing or disciplinary action related to personal conduct, making it impossible to assess reputational and employment risk before committing to a position. Current solutions fail because this information is scattered across rumors, institutional records kept private, and anecdotal accounts, leaving candidates vulnerable to joining institutions with hostile environments or unpredictable enforcement of conduct policies.
