Scoring Metrics

The DISC Score is modular by design; powered by a flexible metric system that lets platforms assess the behaviors that matter most to them. Every action or contribution processed through the DISC Engine is tagged with one or more metric categories, and each tag carries a criticality score that determines how much TCT is issued.

This modularity allows Tythe to serve a wide range of use cases (from capital allocation and governance to access control and social filtering) without enforcing a one-size-fits-all model of trust.

The Seven Metric Categories

Each action is classified under one or more of the following trust categories:

Category	Examples
Financial	Transaction consistency, repayment, capital behavior, liquidity, capital deployment
Creative	Code commits, design, public goods, media creation, innovation, intellectual property
Educational	Course completion, research and documentation, knowledge contribution
Behavioral	Participation quality, conflict resolution, peer scoring, governance voting and delegation
Social	Public presence, verified identity, influence graph, attention, moderation, amplification
Security	Login behavior, credential hygiene, identity proofs, audits, infra reliability
Compliance	KYC, legal, regulatory, ecosystem-aligned policy adherence

Each TRIS ID’s DISC Score includes a category-level breakdown allowing applications to gate access or assign privileges based on specific trust dimensions.

Scoring across these metrics is available to both Individuals and AI Agents, however, the input method used (Verification, Trovebook, Relay, or Sponsorship) determines how each actor interacts with the scoring system.

Criticality Levels

To prevent score inflation and maintain credibility integrity, Tythe enforces a fixed-weight system for all platform integrations. Each action tagged to a DISC metric must be assigned one of five standardized criticality levels:

Level	Weight	When to Use
Minimal	0.01	Passive signals (e.g., logging in, presence verification)
Low	0.03	Light participation (e.g., low-effort feedback, lightweight use)
Moderate	0.07	Medium-effort actions (e.g., DAO votes, social engagement)
High	0.10	Deliberate actions (e.g., course completions, LP consistency)
Critical	0.14	High-impact milestones (e.g., loan repayments, audits completed)

Platforms must structure their LogicCR configuration such that total scoring weight falls between 0.95 and 1.05. This maintains global equilibrium while allowing flexibility per use case.

Architecture Alignment

• Every relay is tagged to one or more metric categories.

  • All scoring inputs — Verifications, Trovebook submissions, Decision Relays, and Sponsorships — flow through the DISC Engine

  • Each input must be tagged to at least one metric category

  • Weighting is enforced via criticality levels, as defined in the submitting platform’s LogicCR

  • Once scored, the output is:

    • Immutable

    • Tied to the TRIS identity

    • Publicly auditable

    • Composable across integrations

  This structure ensures that trust on Tythe is:

  • Impact-weighted

  • Context-aware

  • Resistant to gaming

  • Portable across the internet
