Imagine a PageRank for people you've worked with.

The main question is "Who would you want to work with again on an important project?"

The signal would have to be private to be authentic, otherwise it would become performative.

But if you had everyone's true answers, you could do a PageRank style calculation to come up with a robust, high-quality ranking that rewarded people thinking long-term and being good collaborators.

The current systems reward people who are good at taking credit, not necessarily who make the team more likely to be successful.
