Trust Scores

This is where a vote on a candidate counts. Trust scores are built and voted at the party level, and this is one of the party doors.

  • What they measure: whether a candidate really works for citizens, and how hard they are to co-opt. The scoring reflects this community's judgment of independence and merit.
  • Where your vote counts: on this door. Cast it here and it counts.
  • The non-partisan .io shows a combined view stitched together from all four doors, and it is read-only. Nobody votes there.

What this community can move, and what it cannot​

  • The award arithmetic is computed once, for everybody, and no door touches it. No edition re-weights it, re-rounds it, or sets its own threshold — there is nowhere in the configuration to put one.
  • The same number means the same thing on every door. An incumbent who has earned 71 percent of an award renders identically on all four. Only the audience it gets explained to changes.
  • Which means it runs on the incumbents this community counts as friends too. That is the point of it, not a side effect.
  • Every result shows its work — every row, every weight, every source, on the page.
  • Trust buys attention, never authority. Money buys nothing at all here, and no number ever triggers anything by itself. A result is an input to an ordinary vote, never a verdict.

Where this sits​

This is one area of We The Citizens S, the Democratic Socialist front door at WeCitizensSocialism.com. It is written for democratic socialists, and nothing on the other three doors decides what belongs here.
