Trust Readiness Index (TRI)

A score from 0 to 100 representing a business's verified trust state. Derived deterministically from 8 trust signals. Split into Human Trust Readiness (HTR) and Machine Trust Readiness (MTR). The TRI is not a reputation score, popularity ranking, or sentiment metric — it represents verified trust state for decision-making.

What to do

To raise your trust score, verify more of the 8 trust signals — each verified signal strengthens the score. Claim your domain first, then add business registration, contact details, and a valid SSL certificate.

Mediary's core vocabulary includes 10 defined terms. The Trust Readiness Index (TRI) is the central metric — a score from 0 to 100 derived from 8 independently verified trust signals. Each signal follows the Evidence → Verification → Signal → TRI chain. See how these concepts apply in the business context or the developer integration guide.
