("score" is a silly misleading and non-informative term. let's fix this) |
(this kind of "could be positive, could be negative" score is actually a very bad idea, we should get repute and price premium issues clear first) |

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. | It's basically just some range of integer numbers where a small number indicates dislike and a large number indicates liking something.

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 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. | ||
