Trust one step at a time

Whom do you trust?

How much do you trust them?

How do you decide the trust level?

How do you know what to share?

Trust is like a Jar.

We start empty.

With each interaction, we can fill it up.

Each interaction is a marble.

For good ones, we add marbles to the jar.

For the bad ones, we take out marbles.

The fuller the jar gets, the more we can share.

Trust is given one step at a time — not all at once.
