Open the companion tool →Why the right door matters
Complaints go nowhere when they go to the wrong place — a platform issue filed with a federal agency, or a federal issue filed with a platform. Routing to the right door is the difference between a complaint and a form that gets read.
The routing is rule-based: consumer deception goes to the FTC, state-level practices to your state attorney general, platform conduct to the platform, and financial products to the CFPB. The finder applies those rules to your facts.
The protocol
- Describe what happened, factually — who did what, and the harm.
- Read the routing basis: the best-fit agency and why.
- File with the best-fit agency first, and keep the dated copy.
- File with the alternative in parallel if the harm spans categories.
What the tool does
Describe what happened and get a routing read to the most relevant agency with the first filing step. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Limit first: This is a routing aid, not legal advice and not a filing service. It names public agencies; it does not file for you or guarantee any outcome.

File with the best-fit agency and keep the dated copy. If the harm is financial, the CFPB is the parallel route.
Research log and safety checks
AI-assist path: not applicable — the routing is a rules-based map over public agencies, which the reader can apply directly; a model layer adds no verification. §6.10: not a frontier-pace topic.
§0.5 protection result: category is rights-recourse; crisis-adjacent: no; fear/urgency/scarcity toolkit used: no. The protective function is free and the paid feature is convenience only.
