Wouldn't this provide significant economic incentive towards gaining a high value on this metric? I'm not sure if this a good idea because even if you call it a "trust metric", it does not have to correspond to ethical behavior.
Wrong concept of "trust". There exist vendors that I *expect* will treat me in an unethical way, while being totally open as to their identity. Think of it as going to buy a used car, and *knowing* that there are shady and unethical dealings going on, but knowing to a high degree of certainty that the salesmen perpetrating the fraud are in fact authorized and are acting on behalf of the dealership, and aren't somebody in a cheap suit that came in off the street and borrowed the office while the real salesman was out for a few days for a family emergency.... (And yes, there actually *was* somebody who pulled that fraud a while back nearby here - I wish I could find a citation...)
