An automatically calculated score that tells you how complete your network is — and exactly what to do next.
A network of sixty people where forty of them have only a name and no birth city, no relationships recorded, no photographs — is not a complete network. It is a directory. ECO's Network Health score measures the difference between a directory and a living archive, and tells you specifically what to do to close that gap.
The score is calculated automatically, in real time, across three dimensions: profile completeness (does each member have a birth location, a photograph, key dates?), relationship density (are the connections between members documented?), and network growth (are there people who should be in this network who aren't?). The result is a single percentage and a short list of specific actions — this profile needs a birth city, this member hasn't added a photograph, this person was mentioned in a story but isn't in the network yet.
For organisations managing large networks — a senior living community, a tribal membership, a collegiate cohort — the health score is a governance tool: a way to see at a glance whether the archive is growing, stalling, or thinning out.
Not a vanity metric. A specific list of what to do next.
Profile completeness: what percentage of members have a photograph, a birth location, and key life dates recorded. Relationship density: what percentage of the connections that should exist in this network are actually documented. Growth: are there people mentioned in stories or tagged in posts who haven't been added as members yet.
The health dashboard surfaces one specific profile that would benefit most from attention — the member with the most connections but the least information recorded. One action at a time, the network becomes more complete.
If there is someone who should be in this network but isn't, the health dashboard lets you name them. They're added to the network's invitation queue — a shadow profile that holds the intention of inclusion until they join.
A Conductor managing a network of two hundred can see at a glance whether the archive is healthy or hollowing out. Which cohort of members joined recently but added nothing? Which members have photographs but no relationships documented? The health score surfaces the patterns that are invisible when you're looking at individual profiles one at a time.
Every time a member adds a photograph, documents a relationship, or records a birth city, the health score updates. There is nothing to run, nothing to request. The score reflects the current state of the network, always.
A network health score of 40% means forty percent of the potential of this community is documented. A score of 85% means most of what this community knows about itself is recorded. The goal is not 100% — perfection is not the point. The goal is growth: the archive becoming richer, more complete, more capable of telling the story of this community to the people who come after.
