What this is
Trust Index is not a tool. It is a signal layer.
It shows how trust changes over time as community checks and votes accumulate.
How it works
Check
A user verifies a link, domain, email, or text label.
Vote
The community marks Trust or Warn.
Aggregate
Signals are combined into a shared state.
Index
The evolving trust state becomes visible.
Core components
Sentinel
Sentinel is a browser safety layer showing real-time signals while browsing. It is separate from Trust Index aggregation.
Why it matters
Trust is not static.
It is a living signal shaped by many small actions.
Trust Index visualizes that movement.
