KNOCSCORE
Knowledge Credibility Platform

Credibility you
can verify.

KnocScore is like a FICO score — but for knowledge. Not a single number. An auditable set of metrics built on an individual's real, historical interactions with knowledge. Grounded in truth.

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.

03 · How It Works

05 · Explore the Knowledge Graph

Every score traces back to a node.

Each bubble is a top-level domain rooted in a real-world source. Open one to walk its sub-nodes, read the explainer, and see the contributors whose credibility shaped it. Members earn attribution — a link to their public profile and KnocScore — which weights the ranking of every comment they leave.

Basic Reproduction Number (R₀)

R₀ is the average number of secondary infections produced by a single infected individual in a fully susceptible population. It is a property of the pathogen *and* the contact structure — not a fixed constant.
