# Who is this data for?

The Reputation Database is for any Reputation Service that would like to leverage on-and-off-chain reputation data around SPs. 

Each *Reputation Service* has freedom to produce their own interpretation of the raw data, such as SP reputation score and / or SP QoS ranking **using their own heuristics**. This is to avoid bias because to one client profile, download speed might be the top-most metric they care about, while to another client profile data center regions might be the dealbreaker.

*Reputation Services such as yourselves* are not part of the DAO but rather customers of the DAO. *Reputation Service*s can represent a simple dashboard for clients to self-serve, or complex financial instruments like SP QoS insurance, where data clients can get compensated automatically for low SP QoS via smart contract.
