Glossary.
- Reputation Record
- A structured, permanent record of a person or business's behavior, built from identity-verified reports and evidence, and identified by an RR ID (e.g. RR-10234).
- RR Score
- The live trust score attached to a Reputation Record. Recomputed from the full report history on every view rather than stored as a fixed number — it grows over a clean track record and drops when new, evidence-backed reports are filed against it.
- Reciprocity Gate
- The rule that viewing another person or business's full Reputation Record — and filing a report against one — requires holding your own Reputation Record first. Keeps the network mutually accountable.
- Verification Tier
- One of four identity checks shown on a Reputation Record: email confirmation, phone confirmation, government ID match, and live selfie match. Shown individually rather than as a single opaque "verified" badge.
- Peer Verification
- A flow that lets people who know a Reputation Record's owner directly confirm or contest specific claims — adding corroborated context beyond what the record owner reports about themselves.
- Resolution
- The formal dispute process a Reputation Record subject can use to contest a report filed against them. Outcomes are written to the record's permanent timeline; a resolution in the subject's favor restores most of the associated score deduction.
- Evidence-Based Report
- A report filed with supporting material — screenshots, receipts, uploaded video, or named witnesses — attached directly to the claim it supports, rather than unsupported text.
- Behavioral History
- The record of how a person or business has actually acted over time — distinct from identity (who they are) and credit history (how they manage financial obligations).
- Trust Intelligence
- The discipline of converting scattered behavioral evidence into a structured, verified, continuously scored record that an institution can query and act on.
- Trust Stack
- The layered set of systems an institution uses to assess risk before making a decision — typically identity verification, credit history, fraud/risk signals and, increasingly, reputation intelligence.
- BadMarket Reputation Engine
- The underlying system, run by BadMarket.ng, that structures community reports, links evidence and computes trust scores. RRSource is the enterprise search and verification layer built on top of it.
