Mechanics & terminology
Word list
One canonical term per concept. If the glossary says Review, every locale and surface uses the glossary entry — not a synonym that drifted in a single PR.
Core terms
| Use | Definition | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Organizer | B2B customer running events | Business, client, vendor |
| Organization | Organizer workspace section in nav | Company account, business account |
| Review | Public participant feedback on an event | Content, testimonial, rating (when meaning full review) |
| Feedback | Private or pre-publication responses | Survey (unless actually a survey product name) |
| Verified | Participant confirmed against roster or email-trust rules | Certified, validated, authenticated |
| Dispute | Formal organizer challenge of a review | Complaint, ticket, case |
| Home | Organizer portfolio hub | Dashboard (generic) |
| Events | Organizer event list and workspace | My events (in nav) |
| Reputation | Portfolio-level reviews and disputes | Reviews hub (internal only) |

Rating vocabulary
Three expressions — not interchangeable (design system §6):
| Expression | Where | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric | Figure, always one decimal | 4.7 |
| Tier word | Badge, accessible label | Excellent |
| Colour | Bar fill, never alone | With number or word |
Tier words: Poor, Fair, Good, Very good, Excellent. Stars are gold at every tier. "Without rating" is the first option in rating inputs, not the last.
Locale notes

- pt-BR — Brazilian Portuguese; may differ in sports terminology (corrida, prova)
Do not ship literal machine translation for legal or trust strings — native review required. See translation.
