# Trust Best Practices

## 1. Verify Before Deploy

Always run AXIS verification before deploying to production.

## 2. Set Minimum Tiers

Don't allow unverified agents in production:

```yaml
trust:
  minimumTier: T2
```

## 3. Regular Re-verification

Agent trust can change over time. Re-verify regularly:

```bash
naos axis verify --all
```

## 4. Track Trust Trends

Use the dashboard to monitor trust scores over time.

## 5. Improve Low Scores

Focus on the lowest-scoring criteria to improve trust tier.
