THE METHOD

Trust — Within the Judgement Framework

Four dimensions of trust, developed across the article series and drawn out here as a working reference. Trust is one lens within a broader framework on judgement.

DIMENSION 01

Knowledge Trust

Do you trust what the system claims to know — and do you know how to tell when that claim is wrong?

DIMENSION 02

Institutional Trust

Do you trust the structure holding the system accountable — governance, oversight, consequence — more than the system itself?

DIMENSION 03

Relational Trust

Do you trust it because of a pattern built over repeated exchange — and what happens when that pattern resets?

DIMENSION 04

Adaptive Trust

Do you trust your own judgement to recalibrate, each time the system — and the risk it carries — changes shape?

Not a checklist. A way of asking, before you trust anything: which kind of trust is this, actually — and have I earned the right to give it.

Trusting assistance should not mean surrendering judgement.
