What is a Factus Level, how is it calculated?

The Expert level is a way to establish expertise over a certain subject matter and/ or affiliation to certain organizations. This level is calculated based on the confirmed credentials or expertise.

Factus Levels help identify content created by authentic human experts.

Levels define the relation that exists between a piece of content and the expertise the person has on that topic. Someone working at NASA (after validating credentials), can achieve a L4 expertise in anything related to space technologies, but this same person can have a different Level (L1) to any other subject like football because he's not a professional player. The expert level is relative to the credentials or experience each person has.
