Complete transparency in expert verification and ranking
Last updated: 1/8/2025
All algorithm updates are announced in our Discord and published on GitHub.
Every expert on Unslop earns a Trust Score — a transparent, data-backed measure of their real-world credibility. Instead of hiding behind followers or paid ads, we make the entire scoring system public and open-source.
The algorithm evaluates experts using four components — each weighted to reflect its importance in measuring true expertise.
Verified track record of skills, projects, and experience.
Credibility points from other verified experts on Unslop.
Feedback from learners who've followed their roadmaps.
Percentage of learners who finish their roadmap — a real-world indicator of clarity and quality.
We start with proof, not promises. Experts submit verifiable evidence of experience — portfolios, public work, credentials, or content. Each proof type carries a specific weight, listed below.

Reputation compounds when peers vouch for you. Each endorsement from another verified expert adds to your score — up to a capped limit to prevent "circle boosting."

Every learner's rating matters. Instead of focusing on vanity metrics (like followers or views), we care about how useful and actionable a roadmap actually is.
(averageRating / 5) * 70 + (helpfulPercentage * 30)Clarity creates results. The more learners who complete a roadmap, the more credible the expert behind it becomes.
(completedUsers / totalUsers) * 100Consistent proof, peer validation, and learner results.
Verified experience and strong feedback.
Proven skill and clear educational value.
Proof submitted, awaiting community data.
Transparency isn't a feature — it's a foundation.
Every Trust Score calculation is logged, auditable, and version-controlled. You can always see how your score was generated, down to every input and formula used.
All updates are versioned and announced publicly before going live.
No hidden formulas. No silent changes. No black boxes. Just data, sunlight, and community accountability.
The world doesn't need more gurus. It needs verified guides.
