Base Claim:
1. A method for calculating a trust score, the method comprising: retrieving, from a first database using processing circuitry, first data associated with a first entity in a computer network; calculating a first component score based on the first data; retrieving, from a second database using the processing circuitry, second data associated with the first entity; calculating a second component score based on the second data; calculating a weighted combination of the first component score and the second component score to produce a trust score for the first entity; receiving, from a user device of a second entity in the computer network, data indicating an attribute associated with the first entity; recalculating the first component score based on the first data and the received data indicating the attribute associated with the first entity; updating the trust score for the first entity by calculating a weighted combination of the recalculated first component score and the second component score; wherein receiving, from the user device of the second entity, the data indicating an attribute associated with the first entity comprises receiving an indication of a user input from the second entity that validates the first data; and wherein recalculating the first component score based on the first data and the received data indicating the attribute associated with the first entity comprises increasing or decreasing the first component score by a predetermined amount until a threshold component score is reached.
