Why it works

Built differently from the start

Most campus lost & found systems are notice boards. ReclaimX is a matching engine with fraud prevention built into every step.

Automatic matching, not manual searching
When you submit a report, the scoring engine immediately checks every opposing report on your campus. You don't browse — you get notified when a match is found.
Old way: Post on WhatsApp group, hope someone responds
ReclaimX way: Engine scores and notifies automatically
Your details stay private by default
Only the item name is ever publicly visible. Your description, photos, and contact details are never shown to anyone — not even matched finders — until ownership is verified.
Old way: Post photo of your ID on Facebook
ReclaimX way: Zero sensitive data shown publicly
Fraud prevention, not just matching
Anyone can claim they own something. ReclaimX requires claimants to answer 3 questions derived from your private report — details only the real owner would know.
Old way: Trust whoever shows up and says "it's mine"
ReclaimX way: Verified ownership before any contact
Features

How the platform works

Six core capabilities designed around the real problems students face when losing things on campus.

Weighted Scoring Engine
When you submit a report, the engine immediately scores it against every open opposing report on your campus. No ML required — the weighted combination of four signals produces reliable match scores in under 2 seconds.
Text similarity (item name + description)40%
Image presence signal30%
Location token overlap20%
Time decay (72h window)10%
Jaccard similarity · campus-scoped · campus_id + category filter
Privacy First
Only the item name is public. Descriptions, images, and hidden attributes are stored privately and never shown to other users.
Zero public sensitive data
Fraud Prevention
3-question dynamic verification from private report attributes. 3 failed attempts trigger automatic account suspension.
3-strike system
Trust Score System
Earn points for successful returns. Bronze to Silver to Gold. Both reporter and finder earn +10 points on every confirmed handover.

Recovery flow

How recovery works, step by step

From the moment you lose something to the moment you get it back — here's exactly what happens.

1. You report the lost item
Add the item name, last-seen location, category, campus, and private verification details (interior colour, unique marks, contents). The scoring engine starts watching immediately.
Takes under 2 minutes
2. Someone reports a found item
A finder submits a found report on your campus with the same category. The engine immediately scores it against your report using text, image, location, and time signals.
Scoring runs in <2 seconds
3. You're notified of a match
If the score is 40 or above, a claim is created and you see it in "My Matches" with a confidence percentage. High-confidence matches (80%+) are highlighted.
Match threshold: 40/100
4. The claimer verifies ownership
The claimer answers 3 questions generated from your private hidden attributes. Answers are scored with Jaccard word similarity — 60% needed to pass. 3 wrong attempts = suspension.
Verification threshold: 60%
5. Secure handover at a campus location
Both parties meet at a safe campus location. Both confirm the handover in the app. Each earns +10 trust points. The case is closed and reports are resolved.
+10 trust points for both parties
