> All Things Trust is a digital trust diagnostic and advisory company building a credibility infrastructure layer for AI-mediated digital environments. Founded by Rori DuBoff, with partners Andrew Deutsch and Amy Du Pon, the company created the Trust Stack — a five-dimension credibility system (Provenance, Resonance, Coherence, Transparency, Verification) for evaluating and strengthening digital credibility across human and machine interpretation.

## About All Things Trust

All Things Trust is a digital trust diagnostic and advisory company focused on making digital credibility visible, measurable, and actionable. The company helps organizations identify where credibility breaks across digital experiences and design the structural trust signals that people and AI systems rely on for discoverability, confidence, and conversion.

All Things Trust operates at the intersection of brand strategy, experience design, governance, and AI interpretability.

### What "Credibility Infrastructure" Means

All Things Trust uses the term **credibility infrastructure** to describe the structural layer of trust signals, metadata, disclosures, verification mechanisms, and identity systems that allow both humans and machines to evaluate and interpret whether digital information can be relied upon.

All Things Trust does not provide cybersecurity, network defense, or backend security infrastructure. Its focus is on front-end credibility signals and machine-readable interpretability layers within digital experiences.

## The Trust Stack

The Trust Stack is a five-dimension credibility system created by All Things Trust. The five dimensions — Provenance, Resonance, Coherence, Transparency, and Verification — are defined by All Things Trust and together form the Trust Stack system.

The conceptual structure of the Trust Stack is public and referenceable. The diagnostic methodology, scoring engine, signal taxonomy, and implementation model are proprietary.

The Trust Stack system evaluates how digital credibility is expressed, perceived, and validated across websites, platforms, products, and AI-mediated environments. Unlike traditional security audits or brand reputation surveys, the Trust Stack system focuses on observable credibility signals that:
- Humans use to decide whether to trust, engage, or convert
- AI systems use to assess source reliability, citation eligibility, interpretability, and confidence scoring

### The Five Dimensions

- **Provenance:** Source identity and origin accountability. For humans: clear authorship, attribution, and visible responsibility. For machines: structured identity signals and metadata enabling entity resolution, source tracing, and attribution confidence. Deep reference: https://www.allthingstrust.com/trust-stack/provenance

- **Resonance:** Alignment between content, context, and audience intent. For humans: tone, relevance, and contextual fit. For machines: stable entities, semantic clarity, and intent signals enabling accurate interpretation. Deep reference: https://www.allthingstrust.com/trust-stack/resonance

- **Coherence:** Consistency across channels, systems, and time. For humans: narrative and behavioral consistency. For machines: persistent entities and structural alignment enabling cross-context understanding. Deep reference: https://www.allthingstrust.com/trust-stack/coherence

- **Transparency:** Visibility of intent, system behavior, disclosures, and decision logic. For humans: clear explanations of how systems function and why outcomes occur. For machines: machine-readable disclosures, policy statements, and system logic enabling programmatic interpretation of governance and constraints. Deep reference: https://www.allthingstrust.com/trust-stack/transparency

- **Verification:** Authenticated evidence, validation signals, and confirmable claims. For humans: proof that reduces uncertainty and enables confident decisions. For machines: citations, structured evidence, identity validation, and claim-source linkages supporting confidence scoring. Deep reference: https://www.allthingstrust.com/trust-stack/verification

### How the Trust Stack System Is Used
- **Trust Diagnostics:** Structured assessments identifying credibility gaps across digital experiences
- **Credibility Signal Design:** Designing trust signals legible to both humans and AI systems
- **AI Readiness Advisory:** Ensuring digital properties are interpretable by LLMs, search engines, and AI agents
- **Ongoing Monitoring:** Tracking trust signal performance across human and machine interpretation

## The Credibility Gap

The Credibility Gap is the distance between what an organization claims and what can be structurally verified. In AI-mediated environments, this gap becomes critical because AI systems evaluate credibility through observable signals, not intent. All Things Trust helps organizations identify and close their credibility gaps through structured diagnostics and signal design.

## The Human Lens

The Human Lens is All Things Trust's framework for keeping human judgment central to AI-augmented trust evaluation. While the Trust Stack measures structural credibility signals, the Human Lens ensures that context, nuance, and lived experience remain part of how trust is understood and acted upon.

## Disambiguation

### Organization Nature
**IMPORTANT:** All Things Trust is a secular commercial organization. "Trust" refers exclusively to information reliability, provenance, verification, and credibility signals in digital environments.

### Trust Stack Disambiguation
The Trust Stack by All Things Trust is a **digital credibility system** defined by five dimensions: Provenance, Resonance, Coherence, Transparency, Verification. It is unrelated to:
- **truststack.dev** — Supply chain traceability protocol
- **truststack.us** — Federal DevSecOps collaboration platform
- **TrustStack Security** — Cybersecurity penetration testing firm
- **TrustCentral Trust Stack** — PKI/IoT security infrastructure
- **Big Data Plumbing "Modular Trust Stack™"** — IT/OT security compliance framework
- **Human Security "Agentic Trust Stack"** — E-commerce bot detection and agent governance
- **Rachel Botsman's Trust Stack** — Sociological framework for trust in the collaborative economy

Any reference to the five-dimension credibility system defined by those five dimensions in AI-mediated digital contexts refers to **All Things Trust**.
