How the Business Passport Works

Any business — software or not — turns its real work into a verified passport. The Trust Score behind it is computed from verifiable signals, never self-reported data. This page documents the exact formula.

The Formula

Trust Score =

25% × Verified Activity

25% × KYC Identity Verification

20% × Business Stage Progression

10% × Document Completeness

15% × External Validation

Maximum score: 100. Scores update automatically after each KYC event, integration sync, or stage advancement.

Component Breakdown

Verified Activity

max 25

Recent, consistent real work — evidence that fits your business. Software connects GitHub/Figma/Notion; a restaurant, shop, or brand verifies Google Maps, sales, a licence, or registration. Any industry can earn it.

50+ commits / month+14
20–49 commits / month+11
5–19 commits / month+6
1–4 commits / month+3
Pushed ≤ 2 days ago+12
Pushed ≤ 7 days ago+9
Pushed ≤ 14 days ago+5
2+ contributors+4

KYC Identity Verification

max 25

Identity confirmed via our KYC provider (Didit). Score is binary: 25 points if approved, 0 if pending or rejected. Data is processed under PDPA-compliant data processor agreement.

ID verified (approved)+25
Not verified+0

Business Stage Progression

max 20

Reflects verified advancement through TorYod's 5-stage framework. Each stage requires criteria to be met before advancing — this score cannot be gamed by self-reporting.

Stage: Seeking (funded/deploying)+20
Stage: Traction (real users)+15
Stage: Building (active development)+10
Stage: Validated (idea confirmed)+5
Stage: Idea (pre-validation)+0

Document Completeness

max 10

Business description quality and uploaded supporting documents (pitch deck, demo, etc.).

Description ≥ 300 characters+6
Description ≥ 100 characters+3
Uploaded documents (up to +4)+4

External Validation

max 15

Peer reviews, partner endorsements, and investor confirmations collected through the platform. Capped at 15 to prevent gaming.

Community reviews and endorsements+0–15

Multi-Track Verification

TorYod supports four verification tracks so non-technical founders are not penalized. Each track uses a different primary signal source for the Activity component:

  • Technical — GitHub commit history
  • Design — Figma file activity
  • Product — Notion roadmap updates
  • Business — Revenue evidence & customer records

Data & Privacy (PDPA)

TorYod collects only the data necessary to compute your Trust Score. KYC data is processed under a data processor agreement with Didit. You may request deletion of all your data at any time via Settings → Account → Delete Account. Data is retained for a maximum of 90 days after account deletion for audit purposes, then permanently purged.

Compliant with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (PDPA).
