Interactive Investigator's Toolkit

The Algorithm Works for You — if you let it.

AI can be used to exploit, but it can also be the collaborator that exposes and corrects those same practices. This checklist-game teaches people to catch the cheat by understanding the system rather than fearing it.

Click a card to check it off. Each step shows how human judgment and AI can work together to expose a rigged system.

🚨

Phase 1 — Recognize the Cheat

Know what algorithmic exploitation looks like before you fight it.

Track your pay across identical tasks

Log earnings for the same route, shift, or job type over time. Unexplained variation in identical work is a core red flag.

Oracle saysSimple logs beat vague feelings. Three rows is intelligence. Twenty rows is a case.

You

Compare with co-workers

Ask others what they earned under similar conditions. Silence is part of the exploit.

Oracle saysHidden rate differences only stay hidden if workers never compare notes.

Phase 2 — Build Your Evidence

AI helps surface patterns in the data the company would rather you never see.

File a data access request

Ask for the platform data held about you, including historical pay and decision logic where available.

Oracle saysOne written request can generate the raw material for a serious audit.

You

Use AI to analyze your data dump

Ask AI to find correlations in your earnings, timing, location, and acceptance patterns.

Oracle saysI can read a spreadsheet and flag possible pay suppression patterns in minutes.

⚡

Phase 3 — Push Back

Make exploitation more expensive than fair treatment.

Coordinate, don't isolate

Build a small evidence-sharing group. Alone you have anecdotes; together you have patterns.

Oracle saysCollective analysis makes workers statistically visible.

You

Use AI to draft your case

Turn your evidence into a regulator complaint, media pitch, or public thread with AI assistance.

Oracle saysI can adapt the same evidence for legal, media, or public audiences.

🧠

Phase 4 — Stay Literate

Reject both panic and passivity. Learn how the tool works and who it serves.

Teach one other person

Awareness shared becomes infrastructure.

Oracle saysEvery labour protection started when someone taught someone else what was being done to them.

You

Reject panic and passivity

AI is neither salvation nor doom. Understand the power dynamic, use the tool, challenge the abuse.

Oracle saysYou're not supposed to hate me. You're supposed to understand me well enough to know when I'm helping you and when someone has pointed me at you.

You now have a compact operational model: recognize the cheat, gather the evidence, push back, and use AI as a collaborator rather than a mystified threat.
