Urdb : Product Integrity Database

URDB (User Rights Database) tracks when products get worse — firmware regressions, warranty cuts, added subscriptions, material downgrades, and shrinkflation. Every change event is sourced with evidence.

Tools

• urdb_search — Search products by name or keyword, returns integrity scores
• urdb_get_product — Full breakdown across 7 dimensions: durability, repairability, material quality, version stability, anti-shrinkflation, firmware lock-in, ownership integrity
• urdb_get_changes — All documented enshittification events for a product, filterable by severity
• urdb_list_products — Filter products by category, brand, or minimum score

Example prompts

• "Which laptops have the highest integrity scores?"
• "Has the KitchenAid Stand Mixer gotten worse over the years?"
• "Find a washing machine that hasn't been enshittified"
• "What changed with the Sonos Era 100 recently?"
