Credential Engine

Credential Engine is a vital national non-profit initiative addressing credential transparency through the Credential Transparency Description Language (CTDL) and Linked Open Data. While the submission itself was of extremely low quality—containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and missing data—external verification confirms the project has significant traction with state governments, higher education institutions, and major funders like the Gates Foundation. The high score reflects the project's genuine infrastructure utility and market relevance, heavily penalized in the 'Response Quality' and 'Evidence of Traction' specific metrics due to the poor submission data.
