Methodology

How the AllerScore is built.

Every restaurant gets two scores: an AI-driven score distilled from Claude Sonnet 4.5's training on real public allergy sentiment, and a community score aggregated from diners who've actually eaten there.

1 — AI sentiment analysis

We prompt Claude Sonnet 4.5 with each restaurant's name, city, and cuisine. The model draws on its training across the open web — review sites, food blogs, forums — to infer how safely each restaurant has historically handled the 8 major allergens. If Claude doesn't have reliable knowledge of a restaurant, it flags it as "Limited Data" rather than fabricating.

2 — Per-allergen scoring

The AI returns a 1–10 safety score for each of the 8 allergens (peanut, tree nut, gluten, dairy, egg, shellfish, soy, sesame) plus a concise safety summary citing the specific ingredients, techniques, and cuisine traits that drive the score.

3 — Community verification

Diners submit their own per-allergen ratings and reviews. Community scores are kept entirely separate from AI scores so you can see where real-world experience agrees with or diverges from the public record.

4 — Filter what's yours

Toggle the allergens you care about, set a minimum safety threshold, and the map rerenders with only restaurants that meet your bar. Use the tabs on each restaurant page to compare AI and community scores side-by-side.

A note on accuracy. AI scores reflect public sentiment up to the model's training cutoff and are not a guarantee of safety. Restaurants and menus change. Always confirm your allergies with staff before ordering. Community reviews provide the most recent signal — if you have a severe allergy, read them before choosing.
