Embodiments are directed to a trusted platform powered by a client-side company application that implements a Business Organizing Principle (“BOP”) for a company and distributed immutable ledger, which provides the company with secure transactions and transaction data.The application's Business Organizing Principle identifies the business components for a company (e.g., HR, marketing, suppliers, etc.) which the application identifies as core, medium-core, and non-core. The application can then suggest and link the business to other businesses on the network based on matching BOP components. The platform's scoring engine uses the ledger's trusted transactions to generate a BOP network score and “local score” to augment traditional thereby creating a quickly developed trusted ecosystem for horizontal B2B integration between not just businesses, but business components.
