PLAIN ENGLISH
What buyers usually want to understand before they deploy Trust ID.
Recognition, intent, attribution, enrichment, implementation, privacy, and agents — without requiring a vocabulary lesson first.
Recognition + identity
What does Trust ID actually do?+
Trust ID helps brands keep more of the customer journey connected before conversion. It can recognize qualifying return activity, understand live intent, preserve earlier source and journey context, and add approved identity or enrichment when more customer information is useful.
Can Trust ID recognize someone without knowing their name?+
Yes. Recognition can begin as persistent journey state before a person's name or contact information is known. When an approved identity event occurs later, the earlier journey can connect to the known customer record instead of restarting at that moment.
What can Trust ID know before login?+
Depending on implementation, Trust ID can use approved journey, traffic-quality, return, engagement, intent, permission, and activation signals before authentication. The exact signal set is defined for the customer journey being deployed.
Is recognition the same as de-anonymizing every visitor?+
No. Trust ID separates persistent recognition from identity resolution. A deployment can understand and reconnect a journey without turning every visitor into a named profile.
Can we decide where identification happens?+
Yes. Identification can be limited to specific pages or journeys while behavioral analytics continues more broadly. This allows the deployment to use higher-cost identity or enrichment only where the added context is valuable.
Intent + behavior
What is Intent Intelligence?+
Intent Intelligence turns live visitor behavior into a current view of engagement, intent, and likely next action while the visitor is still active.
How is that different from pageviews and clicks?+
Pageviews and clicks describe events that happened. Intent Intelligence adds approved behavior between those events — such as repeat evaluation, engagement rhythm, hesitation, return behavior, and journey progression — to understand the decision state with more context.
Does Trust ID make decisions automatically?+
Not by default. Trust ID creates customer signal and makes it available to the systems already responsible for personalization, media, routing, lifecycle, analytics, sales, or service. Activation rules are defined with the implementation.
What does an intent output look like?+
An implementation can expose engagement state, current intent, likely next action, connected journey context, and destination-ready customer state. Outputs are scoped to the workflow and receiving system.
Attribution + continuity
What happens when a customer returns in a later session?+
Trust ID is designed to keep qualifying earlier activity connected so a later visit does not have to look like an entirely new customer journey.
Can Trust ID preserve the original campaign source?+
Trust ID can preserve qualifying earlier campaign and journey context across later visits so the eventual outcome carries more of the path that created demand. The attribution model and qualifying rules are defined with the deployment.
Does Trust ID replace our analytics or attribution platform?+
No. Analytics and attribution tools can keep their existing reporting roles. Trust ID adds customer-level continuity and earlier context that those systems can use in analysis and measurement.
Can customer context move across brands or sites?+
Across approved participating properties, Trust ID can make scoped recognition, permission, and customer context available without forcing each experience to start from zero. Participation and field rules are defined for each deployment.
Enrichment + data
How does enrichment work?+
Trust ID can add approved person, professional, company, contact, or first-party customer context when more information can improve a decision. Enrichment can be used live or in file/database workflows depending on the use case.
Do we have to enrich every visitor?+
No. Enrichment is intended to be selective. A workflow can use recognition and intent broadly, then request richer context only for the customers or moments where the additional information is worth using.
Can Trust ID use our own customer data?+
Yes. A deployment can merge approved first-party customer, account, billing, product, support, preference, or eligibility context through server or data workflows, subject to the implementation and permissions.
What do the 66 and 168 numbers mean?+
The current platform model separates 66 signals that can be available earlier in the journey from up to 168 additional profile fields available through approved identity and enrichment, for up to 234 total customer-intelligence fields. Availability depends on the customer, data source, permission, and use case.
Stack + implementation
Does Trust ID replace our CRM or CDP?+
No. Trust ID is designed to sit upstream of and alongside the systems you already use. CRM, CDP, analytics, media, commerce, and personalization platforms keep their execution roles while Trust ID supplies stronger customer context earlier.
How does Trust ID connect to our stack?+
Delivery can use APIs, events, files, server/database workflows, or implementation-specific connectors. The correct connection method, permissions, and field scope are confirmed for the destination before deployment.
How much development work is required?+
The starting deployment is designed to be lightweight, but the exact work depends on the journey, destinations, privacy requirements, and activation plan. A validation can begin with a focused implementation before broader rollout.
How do Credits work?+
Credits measure usage across customer-intelligence actions. Recognition uses 0.5 Credit, intent and behavior use 1, enrichment uses 4, and enrich + bind uses 5 under the current pricing model. The same Credit pool can support the mix required by the workflow.
Privacy + agents
How do we control what Trust ID shares?+
Implementations are scoped by purpose, permission, fields, destination, and workflow. Approved systems receive only the customer context defined for their use.
Does Trust ID distinguish people, bots, and AI agents?+
The current platform is designed to classify whether traffic is human, bot, or AI-agent activity. Agent-to-customer attribution is being developed as a separate private-beta capability for approved workflows.
What is AI Agent Attribution?+
AI Agent Attribution is the roadmap and private-beta capability for keeping trusted agent activity connected to the customer, authority, permission, and outcome it represents rather than treating the agent as anonymous traffic.
