It's basically just some range of integer numbers where a small number indicates dislike and a large number indicates liking something.  They could be applied to [[types of countries]] for instance.

The idea of using the same scheme to calculate both positive and negative [[repute]] is generally advised ''against'' by those who study [[trust model]]s.  So this concept may not exist in the final [[Consumerium Services]].

*A range from -1 to 1, using real values as score

*A range from -100 to 100 using integers as score

*A [[price premium]] using small units (cents) as score.


A fixed range could be converted to a relative range by dividing the score with abs(max) or abs(minimum) and multiplying it by the the maximum value of the fixed range
A fixed range could be converted to a relative range by dividing the score with abs(max) or abs(minimum) and multiplying it by the the maximum value of the fixed range.  In a [[price premium]] system, it exists in the background anyway, and positive repute and negative repute may be calculated differently.
