How is the trust score calculated?
Every community starts at 60 and each signal moves it by a stated weight, measured against communities of similar size in this index. Channels are scored on views per subscriber, how much views vary across posts, whether views keep growing after posting, forwards and reactions per view, growth smoothness, who forwards it, and age. Thin data caps the score and lowers confidence; nothing scores 100.
How often is this updated?
