How Entrust Identity Verification (Onfido)’s scores are calculated

The full audit trail, recomputed from the verdict data at build time through the same code that produced the leaderboard: verdict × quality × story weight per cell, cells sum to dimension scores, dimensions blend into the PA Score. Every number on the product page is reproducible from this page alone; for why the formula looks like this, see the methodology.

verdict factors: full ×1.0 · partial ×0.6 · disputed ×0.3 · none ×0.0 · n/a excluded from both sides · cell points = weight × quality × factor · cell max = weight × 10

PA Score26/100

Agent-ready 38.3 × 0.30 = 11.49

API quality 5.1 × 0.20 = 1.02

Openness 30.0 × 0.20 = 6.00

Built-in AI 15.0 × 0.15 = 2.25

Automation 35.0 × 0.15 = 5.25

(11.49 + 1.02 + 6.00 + 2.25 + 5.25) ÷ (0.30 + 0.20 + 0.20 + 0.15 + 0.15) = 26.01 ÷ 1.00 = 26.0

Scores are stored to 1 decimal; the product page’s pills round to whole numbers for display. Each dimension below shows the stories, verdicts, and cited evidence behind its number.
