Score: 6.7/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Likewise is a protocol for decentralized personal knowledge graphs, enabling users to run nodes on their devices that maintain an append-only log of signed operations for evidence, hypotheses, and permissions. It innovates by combining local-first principles with a structured inference pipeline and audit trail, aiming to fill a gap in interoperable personal data management, though it remains in draft with no public implementation yet.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, security engineers
