FOLO-UP Whistle Professional · Controlled beta

Your reports. Retained follow-up.

Whistle Professional gives authorised FOLO-UP staff and customer teams an authenticated report profile, remotely retained follow-up, and controlled access for higher-volume operational reporting. It uses the same current 0.7.0 Chrome and Edge codebase as Whistle Public.

1

Remote report follow-up

Review your authorised report profile from another installed Professional browser using the same entitlement. Status refreshes do not expose internal workspaces, case references or another reporter’s activity.

2

Controlled operational access

After server validation, the Public application-level hourly quota is removed. Listing-level duplicate controls, infrastructure protection and misuse safeguards continue to apply.

3

Shared six-state signal model

Professional uses the same count-led Grey, Yellow, Orange and Red indicators as Public. Human review replaces the count with Green OK or Black NO while keeping the earlier report history visible. Accepted reports also record the Whistle version and edition without retaining the raw installation identifier or access key.

One clear six-state model in Public and Professional

The colour answers “what stage has this listing reached?” The number is an accepted report count, not a risk score or finding. Only a controlled human review can produce OK or NO.

Grey · 0 · No reportNo report is recorded for the purified listing address. No conclusion can be drawn.
Green · OK · CheckedNo concern was found in the reviewed evidence. Earlier reports remain visible; OK is not a universal safety guarantee.
Yellow · 1–4 reportsOne to four unverified concerns have been accepted.
Orange · 5–10 reportsFive to ten unverified concerns have been accepted.
Red · 11+ reportsEleven or more unverified concerns have been accepted.
Black · NO · ConfirmedAn evidence-based finding and/or official action is supported by a recorded source; earlier report history remains visible.

Public and Professional serve different follow-up needs

Both editions submit a good-faith concern for human review. Neither edition makes a safety, authenticity or legal determination.

Authorised manual installation

Install the latest issued Professional beta

Current version 0.7.0 is the same for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Professional is not a public download: an authorised user receives the Professional package and an individual access key through the controlled access process.

  1. Extract the issued ZIP completely and keep the folo-up-whistle-professional folder in a permanent location. Confirm that manifest.json is directly inside that folder.
  2. Open chrome://extensions or edge://extensions, enable Developer mode and choose Load unpacked.
  3. For a later beta, extract the new package separately, then replace all files inside the existing permanent folder. Keep the folder path unchanged and do not mix files from different versions.
  4. Select Reload on the extension card, refresh the marketplace listing and verify Professional access in Settings.

Access is pseudonymous, not anonymous to the entitlement.

The raw Professional key is held in that browser and sent over HTTPS for validation. The intake database stores the non-secret entitlement label with the report, not the raw key. Raw installation and session identifiers are transformed with a protected server secret; only the resulting fingerprints are retained.
