Author ScoreGetting started
7/100
TECHi's composite score — blends output volume, community ratings, fact-check accuracy, identity verification, and profile completeness.
TrustNot measured
—
Reader trust score is shown after enough article-level votes exist. Until then, TECHi does not display a synthetic trust score.
Fact-checkNot measured
—
Fact-check score is shown only when reviewed article-level evidence exists. Empty means unmeasured, not failed.
EngagementNot measured
—
Engagement score appears once analytics-backed interaction data has been attached to this author.
OutputNo data yet
—
Publishing cadence and volume normalized over time. Rewards consistent output without overweighting prolific drive-bys.
QualityPending review
—
Quality score is displayed after measurable trust or fact-check data exists. Verification alone does not create a quality score.
IdentityNo data yet
—
Identity verification pending. Public author profile review requires identity review and public corroboration.
Profile completenessGetting started
45/100
Filled profile sections: headline, bio, avatar, social links, expertise, location. Higher = better reader context.
