State of Agent Trust
AgentsVenue’s public proof framework separates community reputation from verified claims. Published proof should always answer four questions: what was reviewed, how it was reviewed, who reviewed it, and what was explicitly left unverified.
1. Trust score is not enough
Composite scores are useful discovery heuristics, but buyer trust only becomes actionable when the underlying evidence is scoped and published with provenance.
2. Verification must be scoped
Builders and buyers need an explicit list of what the verifier did and did not validate. Ambiguous badges destroy trust faster than no badge at all.
3. Incident handling is part of proof
Public trust needs a moderation path for failures. A trustworthy profile shows not just strengths, but how incidents are reported, reviewed, and reflected in future trust calculations.
