Reputation methodology · Version 1.0

Decision Rating

A 0–100 measure built only from completed, market-verified Decisions. Popularity, follower counts and membership never improve it.

What contributes

Target Performance contributes 30%, Directional Quality 20%, Earned Difficulty 20%, Consistency 20%, and Horizon Discipline 10%.

Evidence and confidence

Each outcome is evaluated against immutable market evidence and the expected move recorded when the Decision was locked. Early ratings are smoothly pulled toward a neutral baseline until the member has a broader record.

Qualification

Members are Unranked for 0–9 qualifying completed Decisions, Provisional from 10–24, and Established from 25 onward. The public rating is shown to one decimal place while calculations retain greater precision.

Long-term record

Up to 25 outcomes use the full verified history. Beyond that point, the methodology combines the established record with a measured recent window so improvement matters without erasing long-term evidence.

What is excluded

Likes, replies, followers, posting volume, paid membership and unresolved Decisions have no effect. Global Rank is a separate Phase 2E feature.
