Explanation
Validated trust (D) is correct because it specifically describes a model where one organization evaluates another using a collected body of evidence, and the resulting trust level scales with the quality and quantity of that evidence - exactly matching the scenario described.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A. Mediated trust involves a third-party intermediary that vouches for or brokers trust between two organizations - no third party is mentioned here.
- B. Mandated trust is imposed by an authority or policy (e.g., regulation, government directive) requiring organizations to trust each other, regardless of evidence.
- C. Direct historical trust is built through a prior working relationship between the two organizations over time - it relies on past interactions, not an evidence body assembled by one party about the other.
Memory tip: Think "validate = verify with evidence." When you validate something, you back it up with proof - so Validated trust is the model where trust is earned and measured by the evidence one org can produce about another.
