Abstract
Systems and methods to determine trust scores and/or trustworthiness levels and/or connectivity are described herein. Trust and/or Trustworthiness and/or connectivity may be determined within, among or between entities and/or individuals. Social analytics and network calculations described herein may be based on user-assigned links or ratings and/or objective measures, such as data from third-party ratings agencies. The trust score may provide guidance about the trustworthiness, alignment, reputation, status, membership status and/or influence about an individual, entity, or group. The systems and methods described herein may be used to make prospective real-world decisions, such as whether or not to initiate a transaction or relationship with another person, or whether to grant a request for credit.
