Trust metric

A trust metric is like a number that helps measure how much you can trust something or someone. It's like when someone asks you to rate them on a scale from 1 to 10 - the higher the number, the more you trust them. For example, you might give your best friend a 10, and someone you don't know very well a 3. Trust metrics are used to measure trust in things like news articles, videos, websites, and other online content. The higher the trust metric, the more reliable and accurate the source of information.
