Score Metrics

Tythe’s reputation system is powered by metrics — verifiable, modular components that quantify various behavior. These metrics are grouped into seven categories, assigned platform-defined criticality to determine each action's contribution to the DISC Score, enforced through the DISC Engine.

Metric Categories

• Financial – Payment consistency, capital behavior, transaction trustworthiness

• Creative – Code contributions, content creation, innovations

• Educational – Learning repositories, research, and documentation authorship

• Behavioral – Participation quality, feedback, and dispute outcomes

• Security – Identity integrity, login behavior, and resistance to fraud

• Compliance – Policy adherence, moderation flags, terms-based risk signals

Each category contains a list of individual metrics, which platforms can select and activate during integration.

How Metric Weighting Works

For each selected metric, platforms must assign a criticality level that reflects how important that action is within their ecosystem.

Tythe provides five standard criticality levels with pre-defined weight:

• Minimal → 0.01 (perfect for passive or background signal that support credibility subtly)

• Low → 0.03 (perfect for low-friction actions that show consistency without proving credibility)

• Moderate → 0.07 (perfect for moderate-effort actions that indicate reliable engagement)

• High → 0.10 (perfect for rare or deliberate actions that demonstrate clear value)

• Critical → 0.14 (perfect for milestone actions that define a user’s reputation or risk)

Note: Platforms should target a total metric weight of ≈ 1.00 (with an acceptable range of 0.95 to 1.05).

This prevents arbitrary weighting and keeps DISC Scoring fair, consistent, and transparent.

Platforms can pick what matters and how much it can matter.

Platform Setup Example

A platform might choose:

• financial_txn_consistency → High (0.10)

• creative_bugs_found → Moderate (0.07)

• behavioral_peer_feedback_score → Low (0.03)

• security_login_pattern_stability → High (0.10)

• compliance_moderation_flags → Critical (0.14)

• creative_code_contribution → Minimal (0.01)

• educational_workshops_hosted → High (0.10)

• social_follower_quality_score → Moderate (0.07)

• educational_docs_authored → Low (0.03)

• financial_liquidity_provision → Moderate (0.07)

• security_verified_identity → Moderate (0.07)

• behavioral_dispute_resolution → Moderate (0.07)

• financial_payment_verification → Critical (0.14)

→ Total Weight: 1.00

How Metrics Are Used

Once integrated:

• The platform submits a decision relay referencing the selected metric_id

• Tythe automatically applies the platform-assigned weight

• TCT is distributed based on the criticality weight, action type, and protocol logic

Benefits of the Criticality Model

• Simplifies integration for platforms

• Prevents score inflation or gaming

• Keeps Tythe decentralized and weight-neutral

• Enables platforms to define credibility without Tythe enforcing subjective value judgments
