01 · The Platform

Not a single score.
A receipt of how you know.

Reputation systems average high level opinion. KnocScore measures something more useful: Because merit shouldn't depend on alternative motives. KnocScore uses facts. What was the information they interacted with. Who did they interact with. What did they work on, and what the impact.

Auditable trail

Every metric points to a verifiable source. No black-box scoring, no opinion engine.

Multi-dimensional

Accuracy, depth, correction, disclosure — measured separately so context is never flattened.

Time-aware

Claims age. Predictions resolve. Your profile reflects how knowledge actually evolves.

User-owned

Cryptographically signed. Portable across employers, platforms, and contexts.

02 · The Metrics

Six dimensions of credibility.

Each one auditable on its own. Together, they describe how someone actually earned credibility.

M01

Breadth of Knowledge and Experience

The range of demonstrated knowledge, skills, and activities across the sub-domains of a field. Broader experience provides context for evaluating expertise

M02

Depth of Knowledge and Experience

The level of demonstrated expertise within a field. Greater depth reflects advanced understanding, specialized knowledge, and sustained engagement with complex domain-specific concepts and activities.

M03

Hours of Experience

Experience leaves a trail. KnocScore accounts for experience in hours of interaction one interaction at a time.

M04

Projects, People, and Places of Work

Who you work with, what you work on, and who you work for tells the story of the depth that may encompass a user's experience.

M05

Economic Validation

Knowledge and experience has value. KnocScore, where possible, ties the user's efforts to economic outcomes.

M06

Interactions Count

For an experienced individual, they will have thousands to tens of thousands of interactions. Each interaction is a part of their knowledge and is from the Top Level Domain down to the Sub-Fields.

06 · Trust Model

Built on truth — not fiction.

A credibility system is only as trustworthy as its rules. Ours are traceable to the source, transparent, and never quietly changed.

Read the methodology
  • No popularity weighting. Ever.
  • User-owned and portable by default.
  • Open methodology, third-party auditable.
  • Preserves provenance so results are accountable, may be examined, and challenged.
  • Weighs evidence by source reliability.
  • Rewards actual capability—not polished fiction.

Make your knowledge
count for something.

Live the life you make.

One of the methods to see interactions is the Evidence Scan. It may be used to add past documents to your metrics. It searches authoritative sites for your name and profession. The results show documents that may stand behind your expertise. Run one and see what documents exist.

In step two, to add the documents to your metrics, you need to enter your employer, industry, name, and email. Run the scan again from your profile builder.

  • Add previous publications from authoritative sources

    Publicly available sources may be added to your metrics as category II and below sources of trust. These may add breadth, depth, and density to the relevant fields or domains of knowledge adding auditable history from the past.
