The trust score is a concept that fascinates me. Has anyone cracked a model that can generate and analyse quantitative data and provide good results? I’d love to apply to the field of education. Decentralized education is my obsession.

Gonna think out loud for a few paragraphs, do not mind me. Stuff comes out differently when typing.
Trust Score or more precisely Trustworthiness Score
When I think about decentralized education , one of the key component is the need for a built in academic accreditation system. There is already good research on how to assess the quality and effectiveness of teaching, relying on multiple streams of information that can then be made quantitative, compiled and turned into a quite effective score. The main problem is the they rely on other people’s opinion for the majority of these streams. How can I know who should be trusted when providing feedback and who should not? It’s tough in the real world, even more so online. We live in a world full of bots we cannot let quantity do the work hoping that the outliners will be identified and removed.
Trustworthiness needs to be tracked and quantified. But how? We could punish bad behavior. But, that’s not really how trust works, that’s how distrust works. Trust is a link built and maintained over time. The amounts of links a person has matters, but the quality (in terms of trust) of these links matters far more. How could these be tracked and quantified in the context of a decentralized education protocol (and other contexts)?
