Hey - one of the founders here. To answer your questions: 1. An important thing to point out is that people can't review each other unless there is a confirmed financial transaction between them (so, dating example from a different question won't apply). But if you and I had a transaction that resulted in a dispute, we'd both write reviews for each other. Then, someone looking at my profile would have access to both reviews (the one I wrote for you, and the one you wrote for me), and would be able to see both sides of the story. 2. Yes - our long-term solution is to move this to a blockchain-type backend. For now, it is a centralized database to get to market faster. 3 & 4. We use a number of things to verify identity - social media profiles, banking info, and knowledge-based-authentication (more info on this is here: https://www.credo360.com/help#verifications https://www.credo360.com/help#verifications ). In fact, your "identity" is a big part of your overall score. So, you won't be able to get to a very good score without having established Facebook/LinkedIn profiles, or doing a KBA. Pretending to be others would be pretty difficult. You can of course create a "fake" profile with someone else's picture, but unless you can verify this profile with established social media accounts with the same name, and pass through KBA, this fake account won't get a high score. Also, if someone discovers that the account is fake, we'd immediately suspend it. 5. Once we move to a blockchain-type backend, that shouldn't be an issue 6. The primary metric we are trying to measure with our score is whether you are an honest person, and I think it carries over from one category to another. It is not about whether you are good at something, it is more about whether you keep your word.
