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

  1. Fill missing profile and business identifier fields.
  2. Submit reports on schedule and keep cadence stable month over month.
  3. Increase verification coverage for identifiers and filings.
  4. Keep source data fresh and resolve inconsistencies quickly.
  5. 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.

  • Publish a recurring filing on time
    Regular quarterly, monthly, or annual reporting compounds baseline reporting reputation.
    +10
  • Declare a filing in advance and publish it on or before the planned date
    Public commitments that are actually kept should earn more than unannounced publishing.
    +15
  • Maintain a 3-period commitment streak
    Three consecutive planned-and-kept filings show the behavior is becoming dependable.
    +20
  • Maintain a 6-period commitment streak
    Longer streaks should accelerate reputation because they signal operating discipline over time.
    +35
  • Keep a public filing calendar current
    Publishing and maintaining the forward schedule gives stakeholders more planning confidence.
    +5

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.
