## How It Works
1. Consumers submit complaints publicly with details about the issue
2. Companies are notified and can respond with solutions
3. All complaints are moderated for PII and content quality
4. Resolution status is tracked: open, picked up, solved, closed
5. Companies receive a satisfaction rating (1-10) based on complaint resolution
6. Attachments can be included as evidence (public or private)

## Company Pages
- Each company has a dedicated page at /company-name/
- Company pages show: all complaints, resolution rate, average rating, response time
- Examples: [KPN complaints](https://www.klacht.nl/kpn/), [PostNL complaints](https://www.klacht.nl/postnl/), [Ziggo complaints](https://www.klacht.nl/ziggo/)
