The overload of content has produced an overload of metrics.
Views, clicks, likes, shares, dwell time, completion rates. Useful signals. But they do not answer the harder question: did people trust the message enough to remember it?

Trust is not a soft metric. Peter Field’s analysis shows it has become one of the strongest drivers of brand effectiveness and financial performance.
Engagement tells you something happened. Credibility helps explain whether it mattered.
