What a behavioural history record is
Not a rating. A record.
Behavioural history is the underlying data layer a Reputation Record is built from — every verified interaction, evidence submission and resolution, kept in order.
Structured
Every entry has a type, a timestamp and — wherever possible — evidence attached to it, not a free-text star rating.
Cumulative
New entries add to the record over time. It gets more complete, not replaced, with each interaction.
Attributable
Entries are tied to a verified identity on both sides — who reported, and who it concerns.
Contestable
The subject of a record can respond, dispute, or resolve any entry — silence is never assumed as agreement.
Why it's different
A point-in-time check vs. a history.
Point-in-time check
Behavioural history
Time horizon
A single point in time
Continuously updated
What it captures
Status at the moment of the check
A pattern across many interactions
Goes stale?
Yes — accurate only until the next event
No — new entries extend it, they don’t expire it
Can improve over time
No
Yes — resolved disputes and positive history both count
