How does the Sky Score work?

What is the Sky Score?

A number from 0 to 100 on an artist's, studio's or pro's page that says how much good, verified work they've done on Sky EKO. Nobody can type it in, and nobody can buy it: it's worked out from what actually happened on the platform.

Next to it you see a tier (Rising, Established or Top) and up to three badges.

What counts toward it?

Only facts Sky EKO can check:

• Completed work: studio sessions and service orders that were completed and paid in the last 2 years. A fully refunded payment or a lost chargeback doesn't count.
• Reliability: how rarely they cancel after a session is confirmed or an order is accepted.
• Repeat clients: artists, studios and pros who came back for more.
• Responsiveness: for hosts and pros, how many requests they answer within 24 hours.
• Agreements: agreements in effect that they signed with other people.
• Time on Sky EKO: how long they've had their account.
• Verification: a verified badge.

A part that doesn't apply to someone is left out instead of counting as zero. An artist who never receives requests isn't marked down for it.

Why does a page say “New on Sky EKO”?

Until someone has 3 completed sessions or orders, the page shows New on Sky EKO with no number. A score from one or two sessions would say more about luck than about them.

What never counts?

• The star ratings hosts give artists. They stay private and never feed a public number.
• Anything you write about yourself, and anything you pay for.
• Work between two people who run the same studio or company, and more than 5 sessions or orders with the same person, so friends can't build a score alone.
• Test accounts and Sky EKO staff.

How do the tiers and badges work?

The tier sums up the score: Rising, then Established, then Top for a high score backed by a long record. Badges point out one strength each: Verified, Fast responder, Repeat favorite, Reliable and Rights ready (signed agreements in place). A page shows up to three.

In a city with enough people on Sky EKO, the top 10% also show, for example, “Top 5% in San Juan”.

How often does it change?

Every night. A session completed today shows up tomorrow.

How do I raise mine?

Do the work through Sky EKO, show up for what you confirm, answer requests within a day, and sign your agreements on Sky EKO. The score follows on its own.
