# Configurable Reporting

Models process the data passed to them and generate results. These results are a basic representation of their reputation in a certain context.&#x20;

Depending on the way a system or an application processes the data and the operations that are to be performed on it, these results can be exported, or **"minted"**. User data processed and manifested in the form of **"minted reputation"** can be stored, exchanged, and used in many different forms, such as [**Verifiable Credentials**](/glossary.md#credential), and **NFTs**.

Verifiable credentials and NFTs both have unique features and offer different benefits. Let's see what they can be used to achieve.

## Non-Fungible Reputation Tokens

A **Non-fungible Reputation Token** is just an NFT with the necessary reputation data associated with it in the form of metadata.

Some advantages that such tokens can offer with regards to reputation assessment.

* Easy to transfer and prove ownership
* Easy to store since it lives in a wallet, like any other asset

## Verifiable Credentials

Verifiable credentials **(VCs)** are a broad category of data representations that store verified information regarding a subject. This information can be customized to a great degree and used to make reputation related deductions and judgements.

Advantages that a verifiable credential offers:

* Extremely flexible, can be stored and processed in different forms
* Information can be selectively disclosed and shared (Refer [**here**](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/data-minimization/#selective-disclosure))
* [**DID**](/glossary.md#did) compatible by design (See example [**here**](https://w3c.github.io/vc-data-model/#example-1-a-simple-example-of-a-verifiable-credential))

Due to the fact that credentials can be stored in different locations without affecting their verifiability, the data and reputation assessment results generated using **Orange** can be used **across blockchains**, and across **different platforms**.
