Definition
Trust Intelligence, defined.
Trust Intelligence is the discipline of turning scattered reputation information into an organised record with sources, responses and outcomes. It helps people understand context alongside identity and financial information. It does not replace either one, or make the decision for the viewer.
How it works in practice
- 01
It starts with a verified reporter, not an anonymous claim
RRSource connects actions to the participation and identity checks required for that feature. That makes it easier to understand where information came from, and gives the subject a clear way to answer it.
- 02
The score is computed, not declared
A verified Reputation Record begins at 500. Submitting or publishing a report does not change that score. Evidence, witnesses, votes, Threads, Knots and Nests don’t change it by themselves either. Only a completed Resolution can make a report eligible to affect the live RR Score.
- 03
Identity is not behaviour
Identity verification confirms who holds a record, not how reliably they behave. Reputation depends on evidence, independent relationships and outcomes over time, not views, likes or shares.
- 04
Every change is explained
Score changes are recorded with their reasons. Corrections keep a history of what changed, and a change to the scoring method never silently rewrites past events.
- 05
Every claim can be answered
A record subject can formally dispute any report filed against them. The outcome, upheld or resolved, is added beside the original claim. A resolved dispute is treated as data, not as a reason to delete the original entry. A record that can quietly erase its own history isn’t evidence. It’s just another self-report.
- 06
Community verification fills the gaps
Identity checks confirm a fixed set of facts once. Some claims can only be confirmed by people who have actually dealt with the record holder: a former landlord, a business partner, a colleague. Peer verification lets exactly those people confirm or contest specific claims, adding context no identity document could hold.
