# Community feedback x our Scoring model 1.2 version.

**Main goal**: to have an MVP on how non-techies could analyze if the project is private or not (think of "IMDB" or "L2beat" for privacy)

**Sub-goal**: to have a more objective scoring model made in collaboration with the privacy community.

**Context**:
- _Persona_: a web3 casual user without dev knowledge & privacy illiterate. He/she/they has limited time for research & needs to perform simple steps to ensure that service is private.
- _Assessment categories_: we broke down analytics flow into 2 main categories: validity track (quick check-up) & DYOR (do your own research that requires more time & subjective opinion).

# Sandbox: DeFi category that has been analyzed

**How to use sandbox?**
1. Read takeaways.
2. Give us feedback via general comments in the Community on [Signal](https://chat.web3privacy.info/) or make a Pull request here.
3. You can always explore 38 DeFi project' assessment [here](https://github.com/web3privacy/web3privacy/blob/main/Web3privacynowplatform/scoringmodel/DeFi%20category%20prototype.md)

# Scoring model 1.2: validity track

_Validity track covers GitHub, Product-readiness, Team, Docs, Audit._

**Note**: quick assessment helps to decrease privacy dark patterns from obscure language to test-net claiming it has a "state of art privacy".

We use % as a simplified way to prototype scoring model (from % to 100%). Later versions will include a mixmodel of %, yes/no assumptions & much complex observations.
