Abstract: A method creates an honesty and credibility rating for a user. The method utilizes an algorithm to rate the user based on the information in any user data and/or records. The algorithm assigns an initial rating and subsequently subtracts from or adds to the initial rating a predetermined number of points for each negative and/or positive occurrence in the data and/or records. The method then creates and provides to the user an obfuscated identity that combines the rating with a variety of physical and/or digital identification means such as a wearable badge, a graphical identification, a QR (Quick Response) code, a webpage link, etc. Additionally, the method may remove some or all personally identifiable information for the protection of the user's sensitive information. Thus, the method provides a safe and secure honesty and credibility rating to be used by users to wear and display through physical appearance, digitally, online and social media postings.

Abstract: A process for validating and proving competitive analysis from hands-on lab testing and publicly available research information with the steps of: Gathering publicly available information, Compiling information gathered from Research, Preparing Lab Layout in a network diagram, Developing test methodology and test plans, Building physical test network, Placing device under test, or device to be tested into the test network, Performing the test, Examing the results of testing, Determining if results of testing are compatible with gathered Research, Revising test methodology and test plan, and re-testing the device, Compiling information gathered from hands-on validation lab testing, Combining data from Research phase and Validation testing phase, Performing technical marketing and competitive analysis on Research and Validation testing data, Presenting findings of technical marketing and competitive analysis in output.
