A group of misfits literally launched Judgmatics overnight as a social experiment to see what happens when we hold each other accountable – for the good and the bad that we do. We recognize that not one of us – not you and certainly not us. Honestly, we don’t even believe in “judging” people at all. But the reality is that we all have to make decisions about who we want to deal with – at a fundamental level – in both our personal and professional lives.
We already know the choices we make effect who we are. But we’re hoping that by opening up this forum – in a way that feels like Wikipedia, Equifax, your Mom and your Best Friend combined, that we’ll be judged by more than our credit scores. You’ll finally get the opportunity to set the record straight. To share your side of the story – the good and the bad. Sure, others will give their perceptions and experiences with you. They’ll be able to agree or disagree. And ultimately it’s a way for all of us to hold each other to a higher standard. To be accountable to one another. In a way that truly matters.
As a Mom, I want to know if the girl my son is dating has a bad reputation or if the boy my daughter is dating is a player. How are they in school? What interests them and how do they spend their free time? It doesn’t matter to me if they’re popular. What matters to me is if they’re good people. It’s their character I’m trying to understand. And I definitely want to know what others think of the salesman that’s trying to convince me I need to pay $15,000 to upgrade my equipment. Did he help others double their sales as promised? Or did he just make the sale and hit the road? I don’t want to rely on references. I know if I had to pick references, I’d only pick the people that would say good things about me. But that’s not the whole story. And frankly, there are even two sides to every story. Our goal isn’t to judge. It’s simply to offer a forum for the free flow of information.
