KnocScore System Connection Process

Application owners register their application and provide basic information about its ownership, purpose, website, and intended integration.

Registration establishes an application record but does not authorize connection to KnocScore or contribution of user evidence.

Applications may be reviewed for legitimacy, intended use, and potential risks to the platform.

Developer Access allows applicants to explore KnocScore's integration capabilities and develop their connection before committing to production use.

Available Capabilities

• Developer dashboard and technical documentation.
• Application registration and configuration.
• API credentials for development and simulation.
• Integration testing with simulated interaction data.

Developer Access does not authorize submission of real user evidence to production knowledge profiles.

Research applications: Research and experimental integrations are reviewed individually. Approved research applicants receive access limited to the beta development platform unless KnocScore expressly authorizes additional privileges.

Applications that complete initial integration testing may apply for a Private Beta Connection.

This stage authorizes the application to submit genuine knowledge interactions from a limited number of consenting beta users.

The purpose is to validate the integration under real operating conditions while limiting exposure to technical failures, unreliable evidence, and potential abuse.

KnocScore Evaluates

• API functionality, stability, and error rates.
• Authenticity and quality of submitted interactions.
• User authorization and correct attribution of activity.
• Evidence of genuine user participation.
• Compliance with security and integration requirements.

Private Beta Connection limits are established by KnocScore for each application.

Applications remain in beta until they qualify for and receive full approval. Completing technical integration alone does not establish acceptance.

Approved and Connected is KnocScore's formal acceptance of an application into its evidence network.

This designation represents successful completion of the integration and qualification process, including demonstrated legitimate activity, technical reliability, and evidence integrity.

Minimum Qualification Requirements

Interaction hours must represent legitimate activity rather than artificial, duplicated, or fabricated engagement. The quality, diversity, and credibility of the submitted evidence are considered alongside its volume.

Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. KnocScore retains discretion to refuse approval when exceptional circumstances, unresolved concerns, or risks to the integrity of the network justify that decision.

Applications accepted at this stage receive

• Full production integration.
• Authorization to contribute qualifying evidence to KnocScore.
• Official Approved and Connected status.
• A public KnocScore application description and connection page.
• Permission to display approved KnocScore connection identifiers and Contributor Symbols under applicable guidelines.

An application is autonomous and independent of KnocScore.

KnocScore does not control whether third-party applications are published, distributed, sold, or otherwise made available to their users.

Each application is independently owned and operated. Its publication status, business operations, quality of service, and distribution remain the responsibility of its owner.

Each application is independently responsible for its relationship and agreements with its users.

Approved and Connected status is conditional.

Applications must maintain the integrity of submitted evidence, protect user information, comply with integration requirements, and operate reliably.

KnocScore reserves the right to refuse, restrict, suspend, and revoke an application's connection and Approved and Connected status.

Reasons may include fraudulent submissions, security concerns, misuse of user information, material technical deficiencies, violations of agreements, or conduct that threatens the integrity of the KnocScore network.

Revocation may result in removal of public recognition, termination of evidence contribution access, and review and potential removal of previously submitted evidence.
