I can think of quite a few institutions that certify people as being “good” in some specific way, e.g.
Credit Reporting Agencies: This person will probably repay money that you lend to them
Background Check Companies: This person doesn’t have a criminal history
Professional Licensing Boards: This person is qualified and authorized to practice in their field
Academic Institutions: This person has completed a certain level of education or training
Driving Record Agencies: This person is a responsible driver with few or no traffic violations
Employee Reference Services: This individual has a positive work history and is reliable
Is your question “why isn’t there an institution which pulls all of this information about a single person, and condenses it down to a single General Factor of Goodness Score”?
