1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
collecting, at a fraud engine running on a public-facing web server/service (PFWS), a plurality of image coordinates for an inspection submission, each of the plurality of image coordinates comprising GPS coordinates and a timestamp value for an image generated by a mobile device of a field agent at an inspection site;
sorting the plurality of image coordinates by time ascending created at the inspection site;
determining a number of unique GPS coordinates for the plurality of image coordinates by comparing the GPS coordinates of each of the plurality of image coordinates;
determining a total number of image coordinates of the plurality of image coordinates; and
generating a fraudulent gradient of authenticity (FGA) for the inspection submission by calculating a ratio of the number of unique GPS coordinates to the total number of image coordinates.
