Trust itself can't be measured directly. Signals are the blood pressure and heart rate of an intelligence system.
Trust Signals support ongoing inspection, diagnosis, and refinement. Revisit observations during implementation and after changes are in use, interpreting them alongside context and supporting evidence.
Each is a question, not a metric with a fixed target.
How much meeting time is spent validating numbers before discussing actions?
Do multiple reports answer the same question differently?
How often do users export dashboards into Excel to rebuild them?
Are executives using the system directly, or asking analysts to recreate reports?
How frequently do KPI definitions change?
Can someone explain where every executive KPI comes from?
How much reconciliation is required before reporting?
When numbers are presented, does discussion move to action : or back to validation?
