The Transparency & Trust Score, also known as TT Score, is a method to incentivize additional Trust & Transparency above and beyond the basic requirements of initial accreditation.
The Monitor TT Score 2023 scores Accredited Monitors on their:
- Transparency via amount of shared information about the platform and company
- Trust via number of projects using them
The Monitors TT Score will be updated once a year with potential inclusions highlighted in a section below. Historical scoring methodologies will always be available for viewing (once 2024 is released, the 2023 score will still be available for viewing).
The current content below is a DRAFT and the percentage scoring has yet to be added.
