Reputation Score
The reputation score is a single number that summarizes a publisher's total marketplace impact — displayed prominently on their profile alongside a leaderboard rank and breakdown by source.
Score Breakdown
The public profile shows the total reputation score and a breakdown by the four earning categories. This transparency helps users understand whether a publisher's score is driven by broad adoption (many installs), quality (5-star reviews), or expertise (certifications and community).
| Source | Points Per Event | Displayed On Profile As |
|---|---|---|
| Package installs | 1 pt per unique tenant install | "X,XXX installs" with point total |
| 5-star reviews received | 10 pts per 5-star review | "XXX five-star reviews" with point total |
| Certified certification earned | 100 pts per package achieving Certified | "X certified packages" with point total |
| Community (accepted answers) | 5 pts per accepted Q&A answer | "XX accepted answers" with point total |
| Admin awards | Varies | "Admin awards" section if any received |
Leaderboard Rank
Every publisher profile shows their current position on the global publisher leaderboard. The rank is displayed as "#42" with an arrow indicating upward or downward movement since the previous day's leaderboard refresh.
The leaderboard rank updates daily at midnight UTC. Real-time scores update continuously as installs and reviews arrive, but the displayed rank is from the most recent daily snapshot.
Reputation Decay on the Profile
The profile displays the weighted score (after decay is applied) as the headline number. An info tooltip explains that installs and reviews older than 2 years contribute at 50% weight — helping users understand that the score reflects current relevance, not just historical volume.
The publisher workspace shows both the weighted score (for leaderboard ranking) and the lifetime points (for tier calculation). The public profile shows only the weighted score. Tier is determined by lifetime points — it never decays.
