Kolaboro / Trust Score
How the Trust Score works
One number from 0 to 100 for every project and developer, built on proof instead of marketing. Here is exactly how we calculate it.
Nine checks, weighted
Each check is scored 0 to 100 by a trained local agent, using the evidence listed. The total is the weighted average.
| Check | Weight | Typical evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Title and land | 15% | Registry extract, notary letter |
| Permits | 12% | Building approval (PBG) copy |
| Delivery record | 15% | Site visits to 6 past projects, buyer records |
| Progress vs. plan | 12% | GPS-stamped site video, 14 photos |
| Money safety | 14% | Payment receipts from 4 buyers |
| Contract fairness | 10% | Contract review by Kolaboro AI + agent |
| Transparency | 8% | Company registry extract |
| Buyer voice | 8% | Verified buyer survey |
| Realistic promises | 6% | Yield check vs. local rental data |
Red flags cap the Score
Some problems matter more than everything else. When we find one, the total can't go above a ceiling, however good the rest looks.
| Red flag | Maximum Score |
|---|---|
| Land title can't be verified, or the seller isn't the title holder | 40 |
| Payments requested to a personal account or a company that isn't in the contract | 45 |
| No building permit for work already under way | 50 |
| Land zoning doesn't allow the use being sold (for example, villas on agricultural land) | 50 |
| Open court case against the developer about the project | 60 |
What the number means
| Score | Band | What we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| 80 to 100 | Strong | Normal care. Keep checking milestones. |
| 60 to 79 | Good, with gaps | Fix the gaps in the contract before paying. |
| 40 to 59 | Caution | Verify on site before every payment. |
| 0 to 39 | High risk | Don't pay until the red flags are resolved. |
Our rules
- Evidence or nothing. Every point links to a registry document, a GPS-stamped site video, a contract review or a verified buyer record.
- Not enough data, no Score. If we can't verify enough, the page says "insufficient data" instead of guessing.
- Fresh data. Every check shows the date it was verified. Projects under construction are re-checked at least every 90 days.
- Right of reply. Developers see findings before they are published, have 10 working days to respond, and can reply publicly at any time.
- Corrections. If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change on the page.
Independence
Developers can pay for verification, but payment never changes a Score: the evidence does. Kolaboro agents are never paid by developers, never earn commission on sales and must declare any personal link to a project.
Conflicts of interest
Projects connected to Kolaboro's founders or team are scored with the same method, reviewed by a second agent and labelled "founder-connected" on their page.
