Sureshake Reputation Score
Your score summarizes reporting quality and trust signals. It is a directional signal, not a guarantee of creditworthiness.
Starting score
Every claimed entity starts with a neutral platform-membership baseline of 1200. That usually maps to a B grade. The baseline means a new entity has a real starting point without a signup penalty, while higher grades still require verification, reporting, and credible trust signals.
How it is calculated (current model)
- Profile completeness (20%): required and optional profile data.
- Verification strength (30%): verified identifiers and evidence.
- Data quality (25%): freshness and consistency of data.
- Network trust (15%): quality of trusted relationships and vouches.
- Report publishing (10%): timely publishing with recency decay.
Why we keep estimates conservative
Improvement suggestions in-product are estimates. Final score changes depend on successful verification, consistency over time, and adverse events.
How to improve your score
- Fill missing profile and business identifier fields.
- Submit reports on schedule and keep cadence stable month over month.
- Increase verification coverage for identifiers and filings.
- Keep source data fresh and resolve inconsistencies quickly.
- Build high-quality relationships and request credible vouches.
Reporting reputation activities (publishable v1)
This is a publishable v1 reporting reputation rubric. It defines the activities we want stakeholders to understand, even before every bonus is fully automated in the live score.
- +10Publish a recurring filing on timeRegular quarterly, monthly, or annual reporting compounds baseline reporting reputation.
- +15Declare a filing in advance and publish it on or before the planned datePublic commitments that are actually kept should earn more than unannounced publishing.
- +20Maintain a 3-period commitment streakThree consecutive planned-and-kept filings show the behavior is becoming dependable.
- +35Maintain a 6-period commitment streakLonger streaks should accelerate reputation because they signal operating discipline over time.
- +5Keep a public filing calendar currentPublishing and maintaining the forward schedule gives stakeholders more planning confidence.
High-reputation vouching: what it should look like
A vouch from a high-reputation entity should help, but not instantly dominate your score. In practice, the vouch should be:
- Weighted by voucher quality: higher reputation and verification quality increase weight.
- Capped: any single voucher has a strict maximum contribution.
- Decayed over time: stale endorsements lose influence.
- Evidence-backed: unsupported or contradicted vouches can be reduced or reversed.
Example: an entity with a 92 score vouching for a 58-score entity should produce a modest, explainable lift in network trust, not an immediate jump to top-tier reputation.
