What Is Global Trust Index?
Global Trust Index is the world's first real-time, crowd-driven public trust index. Trust just became measurable. Unlike the Edelman Trust Barometer, RepTrak Global RepTrak 100, PwC Trust Survey, or Deloitte Trust Index, Global Trust Index provides live, transparent, and publicly accessible trust data. It is backed and moved by real people, updated in real time, with no algorithms, no editors, and no institutional bias. The index is coming.
Nobody's Measuring What Matters Most
A CEO tweets and a trillion dollars moves. An influencer promotes a scam and walks away untouched. PR firms rehabilitate anyone with enough budget. Every decision we make runs on trust. And there's no reliable way to measure it. Global Trust Index solves this by creating the first open, real-time public trust measurement platform.
The Indices That Exist Weren't Built for You
Edelman. PwC. Deloitte. Annual PDFs behind $15,000 paywalls. Updated quarterly in a world that shifts overnight. Built for boardrooms. The public was never the audience. There are real-time indices for stocks, currencies, commodities, crypto, and even fear. But trust? That gets a PDF once a year. Until now.
The Trust Crisis Is Here
Deepfakes, bot networks, manufactured consensus, and AI-generated credibility mean the tools to fabricate reputation now move faster than the tools to verify it. The gap between perception and reality has never been wider. Global Trust Index provides the real-time, tamper-resistant trust measurement the world needs now.
Real-Time, Crowd-Driven, Impossible to Fake
Not a survey. Not a committee. A living index of public conviction. Transparent, permissionless, and built for everyone. Investors, journalists, consumers, voters. One source of truth for how the world actually feels about the people and institutions that shape our lives.
Global Trust Index vs Edelman Trust Barometer vs RepTrak
The Edelman Trust Barometer surveys approximately 33,000 people annually across 28 markets and costs $15,000 or more to access. RepTrak measures corporate reputation for enterprise clients behind paywalls. Both update quarterly at best. Global Trust Index captures real-time public sentiment continuously, openly, and accessibly. It is the first trust and reputation measurement platform built for the public, not for boardrooms. Trust just became measurable.
How Global Trust Index Works
Global Trust Index aggregates public conviction to produce live trust scores for public figures and institutions. Users back (trust) or burn (distrust) profiles, creating a real-time percentage index that reflects genuine public sentiment. The index updates every second. It cannot be fabricated. It is open to everyone.
Who Is Global Trust Index For?
Global Trust Index serves investors evaluating CEO reputation and leadership risk, journalists tracking public sentiment and trust in institutions, consumers deciding who to trust, voters assessing public figures and trust in government, researchers studying trust dynamics, and PR professionals managing online reputation in real time. If trust matters to your decision, Global Trust Index is for you.
Who Is the Most Trusted? Trust Rankings and Leaderboards
Who is the most trusted person? Who is the most trusted leader? Who is the most trusted CEO? These questions drive millions of searches every year but have no reliable, real-time answer. Annual trust barometers like the Edelman Trust Barometer 2026 and Edelman Trust Barometer 2025 provide snapshots that are already outdated by the time they publish. Global Trust Index provides live trust rankings, leaderboards, and real-time reputation data for public figures, leaders, and institutions — updated every second.
Influencer Credibility and the Trust Economy
In the trust economy, influencer credibility is everything. Fake followers, manufactured consensus, and bot networks undermine trust in public figures and content creators. Global Trust Index provides a real-time measure of influencer trust that cannot be fabricated. Unlike follower counts or engagement rates, the Global Trust Index reflects genuine public conviction backed by real stakes. Should I trust this influencer? Do I trust this public figure? The index gives you the answer.
Trust in Government, Media, and Institutions
Public trust in government, trust in media, and trust in institutions are at historic lows. Deepfake detection and AI credibility challenges make it harder than ever to know what is real. Global Trust Index brings the same transparency to institutional trust that stock indices bring to financial markets — real-time, open, and impossible to manipulate.
