What is a Yipiit Trust Tier?
Trust Tiers are labels assigned to companies based on their Yipiit Score and verification status, indicating their level of corporate stewardship and unlocking different visibility levels on the platform.
The four tiers
Every company with a Yipiit Score is assigned one of four Trust Tiers. The tier determines badge styling, search visibility, and eligibility for featured placements.
Gold
Score range: 80–100Exceptional stewardship across all five pillars. Gold-tier companies demonstrate best-in-class governance, full transparency, and strong stakeholder alignment.
Silver
Score range: 55–79Good stewardship with room for improvement. Solid governance foundations with some areas needing attention.
Bronze
Score range: 30–54Below-average stewardship. Significant governance or transparency gaps that require action to build stakeholder trust.
Below Threshold
Score range: 0–29Critical concerns. Major governance failures or insufficient data to assess trustworthiness. Immediate action recommended.
