Not much to see here. Crowd sourced, vibe coded app. Not sure what "verified" means because the only verification they did was require a checkbox that "I confirm this is a genuine experience"

If I were a corrupt official in one of the departments I would simply use a vpn and submit a bunch of data for my specific specialty all across the country and then slightly fewer in my own department to drive demand and set market expectations

In India*

How did you articulate this data? How real is this ?

Could providing a leaderboard drive competition in looking for the highest amount of bribes?

surprisingly accurate. I've seen the average between median and max being the sweet spot (based on 4 datapoints)

A lot of people in western countries are unaware of how bad corruption is in the developing world.

It's not uncommon for something like 80% of government officials of all types to be corrupt, compared to under 5-10% in the west.

Go to one of these countries and you'll see it for yourself first hand if you ever deal with the government in any capacity.

You may start to see the same thing in the west with idelologues such as Trump, who care more about loyalty and power than corruption. He has already removed a lot of checks and balances in the system.
