The state is moving towards digitalization — that is a fact.
The Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine has launched a Telegram bot @STOP_Shadow_Bot
for reporting violations on the electronics market.

The idea is correct: fast, simple, without paper quests.
But there are two system things without which the tool will not take off:

Motivation - there are always fewer conscious citizens than in reports.
Transparency - a person does not see what happens to his signal further.

Without feedback, any bot runs the risk of remaining just a contact form.

That is why at VARES we are developing the Black Store Map — a tool that
where the focus is not only on fixing "black dots", but also on understanding:
there is a reaction - or there is no reaction.

This is the story of the near future.
And the BEB bot is already working (while in the test).

The idea is strong.
Now let's see if it can withstand reality.
