Scoring model

How scoring works

Social IQ is a weighted composite that emphasizes reliability and recent activity. Signals decay over time so consistent participation matters more than one-off spikes.

Conceptual formula

Score = clamp01(
  0.35 * Presence(t) +
  0.30 * Reliability(t) +
  0.25 * Engagement(t) +
  0.10 * Community(t)
) * 100

Where each pillar uses:
- Recency decay: newer events weigh more than older ones
- Quality filters: spam/repeat actions don't stack value
- Context guards: private events respect invite policies

Illustrative overview; exact weights may evolve to improve fairness and reduce gaming.

FAQ

A composite score that reflects your event reliability, engagement, and positive community impact on Spot Social. Think of it like a credit score, but for your social life

Weighted pillars from recent activity with decay over time. Presence and Reliability carry more weight to reward honest planning and follow-through.

No. We only process the minimum signals needed to verify attendance windows and proximity at venues you choose to interact with. You control location permissions.

Yes. Late cancellations, repeated no-shows, spammy posts, or poor peer feedback can reduce your score. Decay also slowly lowers inactive accounts until new activity occurs.

RSVP accurately, show up on time, engage respectfully, and keep your status honest. Positive peer marks and helpful contributions raise your score faster.
