Implement a basic rating system for users (students and teachers) based solely on how complete their profile data is. This serves as an initial trust and engagement metric before introducing community-based ratings in the future.
Overview
Users receive a rating score (0–100) and a corresponding level based on the percentage of required profile fields completed. The rating is calculated automatically and updates in real-time as users add or modify profile information.
