KNOCSCORE
How KnocScore works

Evidence, not claims.

Professional trust today rests on résumés, self-written profiles, and hard-to-verify references. KnocScore takes a different approach — building a credibility profile from observable evidence across trusted sources.

01 · The problem

Every professional already knows this.

Résumés are self-reported.

Anyone can write anything. There is no verification layer.

Profiles contain unlimited claims.

LinkedIn and similar platforms accept any assertion at face value.

References are hard to verify.

They take time, favor insiders, and rarely reveal what someone actually knows.

Credentials show education — not knowledge.

A degree from a decade ago says little about current, demonstrated ability.

The result: trust takes weeks to establish, hiring risk stays high, and real expertise gets buried under polished claims.

02 · A different approach

Credibility built from what you have actually done.

KnocScore introduces a different approach to professional credibility. Instead of relying primarily on credentials or self-reported claims, KnocScore builds a knowledge credibility profile from observable evidence gathered across trusted sources — organized into the domains of knowledge where you actually work.

03 · The process

Three steps from evidence to profile.

Step 1

Connect trusted sources

Professional activity is gathered from trusted sources you approve and organized into domains of knowledge.

Step 2

Analyze demonstrated knowledge

KnocScore evaluates observable evidence — experience, work, technical contributions, research, discussion, patents, publications, and other verified activity.

Step 3

Display a Knowledge Credibility Graph

The result is a visual profile showing depth, breadth, trust, experience, and interaction history — not a single opaque score.
