Vegigo reputation
How trust score works
Trust score is Vegigo's reputation signal for food-safety contributions. It helps diners understand whose vegetarian, vegan, Jain, Buddhist vegetarian, halal-veg, gluten-free, and allergy-sensitive information has been useful over time.
Not stars. Evidence.
Reliable people make safer maps.
What the score means
A high trust score does not mean someone is perfect. It means their contributions have built a stronger pattern of reliability. Vegigo considers several signals together, because raw activity alone should not make someone authoritative.
Helpful evidence
The strongest contributions help another diner decide what they can safely order at a real place.
Honest uncertainty
If information is disputed or unclear, Vegigo treats that uncertainty as part of the evidence.
What can increase it
Verifying dietary tags that help others order safely.
Sharing useful safety context in restaurant-linked posts.
Contributing across real restaurants, not just one place.
Building a consistent history of helpful community activity.
What can decrease it
Food-safety information that is repeatedly disputed by the community.
Confirmed information showing a contribution was unsafe or inaccurate.
Low-quality or inconsistent activity that does not help diners decide.
Score bands
100 should be rare
Vegigo intentionally treats the top of the scale as hard to reach. Twenty quick verifications should not make someone maximally trusted.

Transparency, not a farming guide
Vegigo explains the principles publicly, but does not publish exact formula weights.
The goal is to help people understand what earns credibility without turning trust into a game. Exact weights may change as the community grows and better evidence signals become available.
