Trust Network

Understanding the foundation of Transport Assistant's discovery system

The Concept

Transport Assistant is built on a trust graph derived from industry relationships. Connections between participants help determine how matches are surfaced.

Mutual References

When two users reference each other, it creates a strong mutual connection. These mutual references significantly strengthen trust signals in the network.

Network Depth

The depth of your network indicates reliability. More connections and mutual references mean you're more established and trustworthy within the community.

Reputation Growth

Interactions build reputation over time. Successful transactions and continued engagement improve your standing in the network.

How Trust Works

1

Direct Connections

When you add someone as a reference, you create a direct connection. These are people you've worked with and trust. Direct connections receive highest priority in matching.

2

Second-Degree Connections

People referenced by your references form second-degree connections. While not as strong as direct connections, they still benefit from the trust your network has established.

3

Trust Score

Your overall trust score is calculated based on the number of connections, mutual references, network depth, and interaction history. Higher scores unlock better matches.
