Short transcript of a two-person conversation discussing the relationship between trust and risk. Speakers argue that robust, mutually agreed records (a single source of truth) can reduce the need for interpersonal trust by embedding integrity into systems and agreements.
I guess it's a bit like risk, isn't it? If we can just avoid the risk altogether then that's better than attempting to mitigate it. And if we've got really good records that we've both signed up to as a single truth, then maybe we don't have to actually dabble in too much trust in that because it's inherent in how we've established ourselves and that goes for writing the appropriate things that meet our expectations.
So you're suggesting if they're authentically, if they are reliable and they are the facts, then I don't have to trust you when you tell me that X happened because we both agree that those, those are the facts.
Yes, we can.
Avoid having to.
Yeah, sort of built in, isn't it? So we trust in the solution, we trust that the solutions operated well and it's, it's, it's, you know, it's got integrity to it, it's robust.
