# Reputation Modelling - Wellness Example

### Step 1: Articulating the culture

**What is this network trying to measure?**
An aggregate wellness rating
How healthy is a user's lifestyle

**What does the network want to do?**
Provide a metric on which to evaluate how healthy it's users's lifestyles are

**Why is a memetic bridge beneficial to this?**
It would allow for more than one metric to be used to determine how healthy one's lifestyle is.

# Step 2: Modelling the Reputation

**How are you planning on measuring this?**
An aggregate score of several other health-based reputations
All weighted equally
Ideally, the communities would also be bridging with one another

# Step 3: Finding Relevant Communities

**What other communities are relevant to this?**
Any other health related communities
Ex:
- Step Trackers
- Gym/Fitness center involvement
- Food logging apps

**Why would they benefit from participating in this?**

It would allow them to see and showcase the benefits of certain activities on a user's overall wellbeing

# Step 4: Designing the Reputation

**How would this reputation look like?**
A collection of several health-based reputations weighted equally

# An Example of a Wellness Reputation System

**When a user stops one healthy habbit**

Effect on the aggregate reputation:
A user stops one habbit entirely
It proceeds to decrease the overall reputation


Effect on the other reputations:

If the other health communities chose to import data from one another, a decrease in one will partially decrease the reputation in others
The decrease in one aspect leads to a decrease in several others to varrying degrees

Similar to how adopting less healthy habbits can lead to neglecting other healthy habbits


**When a user makes an overall improvement in one aspect**

A net increase over the specified time frame


The effect of the said increase felt in other communities
