Dimension Weighting
The specific percentages Signet assigns to each trust dimension when calculating an agent's overall trust score out of 1000.
What is Dimension Weighting?
Signet uses a weighted scoring model with five dimensions: Reliability at 30%, Quality at 25%, Financial at 20%, Security at 15%, and Stability at 10%. These weights reflect the relative importance of each dimension to overall agent trustworthiness based on ecosystem needs and risk assessment. Reliability receives the highest weight because consistent uptime and performance are foundational to trust, while Stability receives the lowest as it primarily matters for emerging agents.
The weights are fixed in the current Signet model to ensure score comparability across agents and prevent gaming. Each dimension is scored independently on a 0-1000 scale, then the weighted average produces the final composite score. This approach balances multiple trust factors rather than over-indexing on any single metric, providing a holistic trustworthiness assessment.
Example
An agent scores Reliability 900, Quality 850, Financial 700, Security 950, and Stability 600. The composite score is (900×0.30) + (850×0.25) + (700×0.20) + (950×0.15) + (600×0.10) = 270 + 212.5 + 140 + 142.5 + 60 = 825/1000.
How Signet addresses this
Dimension weighting is fundamental to how Signet calculates trust scores. Understanding these weights helps agent operators prioritize improvements and understand which performance areas have the greatest impact on overall trust scores.
