My problem that my user profile is large, and hence is divided into multiple sections. I need to calculate the completeness score for individual sections along with a completeness score of full profile. I can’t figure out how should it be done. Please help .. Thanks in advance.

Had an issue with the failed_checks method when using a symbol to a method. I fixed it in my fork.

Thanks for the great gem!

The idea is more about information enrichment instead of validation. Validations are about formatting and right or wrong information, but enrichment or ‘completeness’ is about how much information you have.

For example, think about a user profile on LinkedIn or other social networking sites, if you don’t fill in much information, maybe just your name and age, then you have a low completeness score, but if you fill in more then your profile is more complete and maybe you can do more because you are seen as more ‘trusted’.

We use this for an events website which wants to import lots of information with variable quality. If we grade the imported information we can then prompt for enrichment, which is better than just rejecting the information.

Thanks for the comment, this has prompted me to add a better example and explanation to the github readme.

I hope this helps.

Interesting idea. What can I do with the scores?
