An open grading scale for signed documents
Changes being considered for a future version of the Document Trust Grade, published for comment before anything is decided.
2 open for comment · current version 0.4.0A proposal is a change being considered for a future version. Each one is published with its reasoning, its effect on grades and a closing date for comments. It is not part of the scale: grades are computed under the current version until a proposal is adopted into a published one.
Comment by email to the address on the proposal, with its number in the subject. Every comment gets an answer. When a proposal closes, its page records the decision and a summary of the comments received, and an adopted proposal is listed in the changelog of the version that carries it.
The data controller is Edström Business AB, Sweden. We use your comment, your name and your email address to answer you and to decide on the proposal, on the basis of our legitimate interest in developing the scale in the open. Comments are kept with the record of how the scale was decided. The published summary does not name anyone, and we credit a contributor in the changelog only with their permission. To see, correct or delete what we hold, or to object, email contact@documenttrustgrade.org; you may also contact the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
Grade how strongly a document proves itself the same way wherever it was signed, and state where that proof is legally recognised on a separate line next to the letter.
Replace the letters A+ to F with AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B and D. Same seven rungs, same order, same criteria: only the labels change.
