What Is the Korea Platform Algorithm Discrimination Damages Calculator?

This calculator estimates Korean damages and remedy strategy for platform algorithm disputes such as ranking suppression, recommendation exclusion, search demotion, account throttling, ad-delivery discrimination, and opaque seller treatment.

The English calculator uses the same Korean algorithm-discrimination function. It evaluates platform type, user type, business scale, incident period, recovery period, normal and incident exposure, conversion rate, order value, margin, fixed cost, platform dependence, evidence strength, alternative channel, report status, repeat conduct, and trust level.

Important Note

Algorithm cases are evidence-sensitive. The most useful proof is usually time-series data before, during, and after the incident, plus notices, policy changes, comparable accounts, ad logs, and platform response records.

Why Exposure Loss Is Not Enough

  • The Korean function converts exposure loss into expected order loss using conversion rate and average order value.
  • Margin rate is used because lost revenue is not the same as lost profit.
  • Fixed cost and platform dependence are relevant when a seller cannot quickly replace the channel.
  • Evidence strength and trust impact affect whether the result points to platform objection, mediation, regulator complaint, or civil litigation.

Evidence Strategy

Download sales analytics, ad dashboard reports, ranking screenshots, search result captures, traffic logs, policy notices, customer messages, and platform support replies for the relevant dates.

Comparable seller or creator data can be powerful, but privacy and competition-law concerns should be handled carefully before using third-party records.

FAQ

Can a platform change its algorithm?

Generally yes, but opaque, discriminatory, retaliatory, or contract-breaching application can still create a dispute depending on the facts and governing terms.

Why does the calculator use margin rather than sales?

Civil damages for business loss usually focus on lost profit or recognized loss, not every won of gross sales that might have occurred.

Legal Use Notice

This English page translates and adapts the Korean calculator content for Korea-based estimates. The interactive calculator reuses the same Korean pure calculation function as the Korean page, so the numerical result is aligned with the Korean service. It is an estimation tool, not legal advice for a specific dispute.
